To make armoring your crew positions easier, the cutting tool could have a "Depth-Set Line Mode" that allows you to create a two-point 'drag-and-drop' line on a material like an armor plate and allows you to select a plate-depth for the cutting beam (set/altered with scrollwheel), where the beam will only cut to the given depth along the line and act normally otherwise (sloppy chop-shops beware). The Building Tool also has a "Width-Set Moulding Line Mode" that will add a one-plate thickness of material around the line out to a set width.
Alternately, you can just give the cutting tool a basic Line Mode that marks a cutting guide, for simple lines or chained together into complex geometric shapes, onto an object and we can improvise the rest by bolting small plates over firing slits or portals and cutting the line into them. These lines only appear while a building or cutting tool is equipped. There may or may not be a way to give these lines yolol functionality to help automated fabrication lines.
