Germano, is very hard to expose the 'snap gizmo' in python api??? ... if we had access to internal snap in python addons, all these problems would be solved by users with fast and standardized snap.

Remove ED_SNAPGIZMO_EVENTSTATE_INGNORE

Harbormaster completed remote builds in B13801: Diff 35741.Mar 29 2021, 10:58 PM

I believe that the patch is ready.

Part of the initial idea regarding the automatic snap to the middle point (as seen in the GIF) has been removed. (This is discussed further in another patch).

One point that can still be considered is the drawing. The circle follows a convection seen in other tools with snapping (measure, transform, add object), but it can also add a lot of information.
However, I didn't want to change much, further complicating the patch.

Knife with snap_gizmo can now snap to other objects? like emptys, curves...
if yes we can use knife as quick slice option for precise interactive cuts..

Correct order of vertex/edge checks

Now the vertex is set after the edge, drawing checks need to be flipped.

Without this the active edge is always drawn, even when the vertex is snapped to.

Mostly fine, noticed some issues though:

There is a bug when using the K-key while the tool is active. When clicking snapping starts at the cursor location when K was pressed.
Having both the snap circle and the knifes own snapping drawing feels cluttered - better only draw one.
The knife tool should the same highlighted circle as is shown before snapping, as the addition of this new snapping gizmo is visibly different before/after the knife tool has begun (while this is a detail, feels odd the way it is currently).
As noted in comments, the object member of the snap gizmo can be removed.

Supporting the snap gizmo in knife_snap_update_from_mval seems like an unnecessary complication, as it requires additional functions that only do something that's already supported when run without the gizmo.

It doesn't seem like we get any advantage from integrating the gizmo while the knife operator is running, AFAICS the gizmo can be hidden/disabled when the modal operator runs.

source/blender/editors/gizmo_library/gizmo_types/snap3d_gizmo.c
78	This doesn't seem to be necessary, it's only used to check if the snap gizmo object is active. However this should already be ensured by `ED_SNAPGIZMO_SNAP_ONLY_ACTIVE`. I'd rather avoid using the snap gizmo to store context which could become outdated, leading to bugs.
source/blender/editors/mesh/editmesh_knife.c
2243	Could use `equals_v3v3_int` here.
2263	`knife_project_v2` could be used here.
source/blender/editors/space_view3d/view3d_gizmo_knife.c
53	C is unused.
76	C, gzgroup, are unused.

Thanks for the commit :)
(In fact over time I ended up forgetting what was an improvement in the code and what was an addition to the snap gizmo)

It is possible, but it needs to be carefully thought of in another patch.

Supporting it for now doesn't really bring much advantage, but the code is still needed to get the first snapping point and in the future it may allow for easy implementation of features like snap to auto midpoint and perpendicular edge.
The only simplicity this would bring is to remove knife_find_closest_edge_of_bmedge.

Fix bug when using the K-key while the tool is active
Redo knife drawing

Now the knife tool has a new drawing indicating the "current point".
Before it was a filled green square, now it is a green circle.

This is the same circle as Gizmo, but in Gizmo this circle is red when the operation is not inited.

Revert changes in knife design (needs to be better discussed)
Change the color of the gizmo to the TH_HANDLE_SEL_VECT theme (that green one)
Remove snapping option to the middle point (best matches the default knife snapping)

This patch has been simplified to just add a simple gizmo to the knife tool (green circle).
Other changes such as: knife tool design, auto snap to middle point and snap to perpendicular are out of scope.
These changes can be thought of later.

so bad :-(

Maybe you can add snap_gizmo to bisect tool.... for start and end points.

We need some 'quick precise slice' tool with snap to other objects outside of current editing mesh.... bisect tool with snap_gizmo maybe to do the work.

51–53 ↗	(On Diff #36269)	While CAGE can work in object mode and `SNAP_GEOM_EDIT_DEFORMED` can't be, they seem as if they would be quite similar. It would be good to include a doc-string explaining the difference between the two (for e.g. handling of hidden geometry).
