Why on earth would it not be centered in view, not centered on item or where on taps? When editing one has to zoom out to find it!

Another question; How do you cut a couple dozen items down to a surface of choice(i.e. length)? Or…translate to the x, y or z-value of a surface. P.s. I used Replace face, and guess that if it is many items it is nothing less than choosing each surface or delete, replace and copy all over. By th…

The transform guide is positioned to the center of mass of the object and independent from the current view. This is an intentional decision, because for regular shapes the expected center of rotation is most often the center of mass. Moving the gizmo to the view automatically could lead to all kind…

Shapr3D does not support surface modeling today. We are focusing on solid modeling at the moment.

Not talking surface modeling. Surface of solid as a reference, so far the Replace surface seems to be the tool to use. Does Replace surface move object axially/perpendicularly alone? Does Translate work in the same way? Difference? One point here is that “Face center” appears on initial input in t…

Sorry about all editing but need to keep you from misunderstanding my ideas. :wink:

Nice with your frequent improvments, but why does Align flip my object 180? Make a triangle and a cylinder, grab triangle and attach to the only snap, center point. You’ll find it flipped the triangle.

Align always tries to minimize rotation. If the orientation is not what you expect, then there is a button to flip it.

Ok, good answer, I just did ot see the flip button at first.

I’m playing around casually with it now moving floor beams and joists and it seems to appeal to my liking here, nice job! :+1: P.s. Either you’ve identified this prior to my concerns or I feel that you must be super fast with implementations upon requests such as mine here. LOL
