After pressing the space bar, do you get into the sketch menu / does your view automatically orientate so it is perpendicular to the face?

Link to video [here](https://streamable.com/pi0ysx), I can’t upload directly to the forum.

The view automatically orientates perpendicular to the face, but doesn’t progress. Apologies in advance if I’m missing something obvious here!

To be clear, you rotate the camera, then hover over bottom of the model, then press spacebar. In that order and don’t do anything else? No other movements and presses?

Try to click on the bottom instead of hovering before pressing spacebar.

Also try to rotate the camera, click on some other parts, press space. The click (not hover) on the bottom again and press spacebar.

The animation looks laggy on you machine what is your hardware?
