Hi!
Caught up in conversations with Copilot, I decided to revisit some improvements in my plugin’s code. Actually, the story started a bit earlier, when Copilot helped me properly configure the project in Visual Studio — which took some effort, considering it had been five years since I last worked on it.
I still haven’t managed to compile it with .NET Framework 4.0, so I suspect the plugin doesn’t run on CamBam 0.98. But with Copilot's help, I did manage to implement some important enhancements: streamline simplification using the Douglas-Peucker method and multithreaded processing. All of that in just a few hours.
As a result, the plugin's performance improved significantly. I’m still planning to tweak the code a bit more — and who knows, maybe even venture into 3D next.
And now Copilot translates my messages too.
Best regards!
PS: Just adding to what I previously shared: beyond the plugin itself, what struck me most was realizing how AI can bridge the gap between an idea and actual code — even for someone who isn’t fluent in the language.
I'm not an experienced C# programmer, but with Copilot’s assistance I was able to implement real improvements, understand algorithms, and solve long-standing issues with far more clarity. Achieving solid technical results in just a few hours, after five years away from the project, showed me the potential of this kind of tool.
The plugin may not be widely used, but the experience was truly meaningful — proving that AI can expand the autonomy of anyone who wants to learn, experiment, or simply bring an idea to life.
