Weirdness trying to project: partially invisible object; history filled with lines

i got to this state:


Init weird.shapr (30.1 KB)

by playing around with projecting sketches and bodies onto a cylinder.

mostly following these steps (i tried to reproduce that disappearing cylinder body but wasn’t able to)


Trying to reproduce.shapr (41.2 KB)

but a second later in the same project, i tried extruding another projection and got the screwed up history lines, and also it seems weird that i couldn’t extrude this projection into the cylinder, only out

Hi @stuartc23,

I tried something similar to your cylinder test, but I was able to extrude the projected circle in and out.

It looks to me like you need to get the latest Beta.

When I imported your .shapr file, there was some kind of error on Body 1. Error indicator was that the name was red in the Items sidebar, I have no idea what would have caused the error and invisible body.

You mention history filled with lines. If I understand what you’re saying, this is normal when you have something selected. That is Shapr3d way of isolating which steps in history contribute to the selected item. This is very useful to narrow steps you may want to modify to change the selected item.

ah interesting that makes sense

i’ll update my beta version

thanks for checking that out!

@Bob3DPO you’re right i was a version behind. weird cos i had it set to auto update
