Bug New Shape Tool in PB 5 is either kind of broken, or I don't understand it.

I'm running into two issues so far with the way the New Shape tool works in PB 5:

• How do I "finalize" the shape, so that the game object no longer has a "Shape Component" script on it? After creating a new shape, it keeps the Shape Component on it forever, as far as I can tell, unless I manually delete it. I can't imagine wanting to use "Reset Shape" in most cases, so it's weird that this dangerous behavior is there, ready for me to accidentally hit. Am I supposed to do something after using New Shape to just make the shape a normal PB object?

• It seems that Undo doesn't work properly when editing a New Shape. Instead, it's the same as resetting the shape. For example, create a new shape, and then make a number of changes to the faces (scale, extrude, etc), then press ctrl-Z to undo one of those changes. Instead, the whole shape gets reverted to its original dimensions, and all the other changes are gone. And it's worse: There's no Redo to get back to what you had. And, it seems that this will reset other shapes in the scene as well.
• Minor, but upon creating a new Cube shape, the pivot point is in the center of the object, instead of on one of the vertices, as it used to be. So I'll be resetting the pivot on all new object as well from now on. This is despite having "First Vertex" chosen for the Pivot in the ProBuilder preferences.

Anyway, the changes to New Shape tool seem buggy or problematic to me. I feel like my new workflow will have to be:

• Make a new shape
• Immediately manually remove the Shape Component script from it.
• Change the pivot point to one of the verts.
• Carry on editing as normal.

Is that intended? Is there some new workflow I'm supposed to be using?

 

Ah, that's a pretty cool concept. I imagine someone making some stairs, then much later deciding there should be 14 steps instead of 10, or something like that, and still having the procedural generation abilities. I misunderstood the concept, and thought that I was editing the templates for future shape creation.

So, I don't see a problem with that Shape Component staying on the PB object forever, as long as the other bug is fixed that let's me undo accidentally breaking some object down the road by clicking on stuff in the Shape Component.

 

That seems fine. I guess it comes down to an individual's workflow. I almost exclusively use PB Cubes, which I always manually edit. But I supposed there must be people who don't want to manually edit an object, and only leverage procedural generation capabilities of the objects. That starts sounding like a more interesting option the more non-destructive functionality gets added.

It also seems I was mostly reacting to behavior that was just some bugs that you've probably fixed by now.
