Can't Orient Object Rotation (Mac)

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 16:30:47 GMT

I have a bit of trouble with orienting my object straight.

First thing I do is set it upright so it faces me straight on:

But when I want to set the dimensions, it's still rotated on the floor plane:

And when I go to Set Coordinate System and check Transform Model, I can change its position, but not its rotation. The rotation handles do appear but I the model doesn't turn when I try to rotate it.

Basically, I'm trying to orient my model under a straight angle, centered and with the bottom on the floor 🙂

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or is it a bug?

I'm on Mac version 117.24 (15)

hmmm, the methods you are trying are exactly correct. i can't quite tell why you can't do what you want as the gizmo in coordinates allows you to orient in all 3 orientations... if you draw a picture HOW you want it and send the model i can test? sorry, its a bit hard to tell as you definitely are doing the correct thing

I just want to rotate my object with the gizmo in the coordinate panel, but the rotation gizmo doesn't seem to work. I can grab them but the model doesn't rotate. Its the same with all my models.

Does rotation work on your end on Mac?

Hi Nicki

it seems that you are right - i now tested on my Mac and it seems that something got broken :(. thanks for reporting, we will see to fix it ASAP!! sorry about that!

That would be great!

I general I don't think the set-upright tool works as good anymore as it did in earlier versions.

Here is an example. I want to put this 3D scan of a painting laying flat on the floor plane.

I think I do it correctly by orienting it this way and then pressing apply:

But when I look at the measurement box, the model is still under a strange angle:

And when I look at the Coordinate System, my model is flying somewhere in cyber space:

I can reset the coordinates there to center to the floor plane, but it will still be under that angle.

So overall I guess that this set-upright workflow broke along the way. Never had this in Memento.
