Snap Array Generator

Description
This tool will create an array of evenly spaced snap points on an object or global environment. This can be used to quickly create snap points for score tracks for example.

The tool works as follows:
1. Place the tool on the object where you want the snap points. Use "Set Surface" to declare that object as the snap surface.
2. Place two objects on the tool to be used as "pins" which will determine the starting position and ending position of the array of snap points. Use "Set Pins" to declare those objects as the pins.
3. Place the pins on the object where you want the snaps and then click Create Snaps to create an array of snap points on the snap surface between the two pins.

There are some other toggles to adjust the number of snaps, whether snap rotations are to be used, and whether the positions of the pins should be included in the array.

Note: Due to a bug in Tabletops API, If placing snaps in the global environment, then at least 1 snap point must exist prior to using this tool! If there are no snaps, you can just create one and delete it when you're done.

Works fine, thanks. Couple things though.

1. If you scale it, it seems to not work anymore, but this isn't an issue since the buttons hover above the objects.
2/ An option to just type in the GUID would be useful

Maybe I'm using it wrong?
I can't set a Pin and can't create a SnapPoint.

A further enhancement idea would be to put the array of snaps generated in to the Description of one of the end point objects. I find this useful to then have a way to manage a point track and similar things. Otherwise I have to capture all of those snap points through some other mechanism.

Very awesome, thanks so much for this!
An additional functionality would be to have it generate a snaps in a N x N array where I define how many across and how many down.

Thanks! Set Surface should work on locked surfaces. Just click it several times to cycle it to the surface you need. That functionality is why I don't want snap surface button to change color.

Awesome tool! Some thing I'd want to add:
- An option to let the "Set Surface" button find locked surfaces
- An arrow-like item that lets us set the rotation of rotating snap points.
- Change the color of the "Set surface" and "Set Pins" button to green when those have been set
