Perspective with Ortho Faces seems not to work properly after installing the update of 3/27.24

Frans.Hessels — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 10:29:19 GMT

When changing the Display Setting - Camera, while working in DESIGN mode and switching from Perspective to Perspective with Ortho Faces the display doesn't change and it still shows Perspective without Ortho Faces. Downloaded the latest update yesterday of Fusion and the latest update of the NVIDIA Quadro driver 551.86, 3/19.24 for my NVIDIA Quadro P5000. Working on Windows 10 Pro with all drivers current. Is this a bug in the latest Fusion version? In the former version all three display settings worked fine.

Hi,

I'm testing this and can't reproduce it. Could you please make a video so I can be sure I'm doing the same workflows as you?

Hi Phil, here is an image of the button I use.

I'm still not able to reproduce it. Can you make a short video?

Hello Phil, tried to make a short video. Please keep in mind I'm not having a movie grabber so I used a external camera.

Thanks for the video.

Here is how perspective with ortho faces is supposed to work. Can you try it this way?

Hi Phil, thank you for your reply. I've tried it on my workstation following your workflow. When orbiting the model a little, the effect is that it suddenly from total orthogonal jumps to perspective only. clicking on the cube, f.i. Front it is ortho without perspective.

Before the last update we had three options. Orthograhic, Perspective and Perspective with Ortho Faces. The last one, where all vertical lines stayed vertical, the way architectural models are displayed doesn't work anymore on my workstation. Maybe it's a combination of latest updates on my machine having Windows 10, NVidia Quadro P5000 (driver 551.86) and the one of Fusion?

I can't get a display like the one below anymore.

I don't mean to argue, but perspective with ortho faces hasn't changed in 25 years, since I was using it with Inventor long ago. It's the same today.

Ortho only happens when you look at a face directly. Any orbit of the camera switches to Perspective. There is no camera that uses a mix of ortho and perspective. Instead, depending on what you are looking at, the camera will be ortho (for sketching as an example) when looking at a face or plane, and perspective when done sketching, having orbited a little, and trying to extrude (for example).

The image you show is a perspective camera. The reason the upright lines are upright is the constrained orbit you have set in the nav bar.

Just curious, so why isn't it working in my movie I send you? Found that when selecting an edge of the orbit cube fi between front and right the desired effect of a two point perspective can be obtained. Thanks for your replies.

I think you found the answer, and that is isolating the axis of orbit, either via view cube, or constrained orbit, or by using both.

You can also orbit using the orbit command and isolate axis of orbit by placing the mouse over the 9 or 3 o'clock portion of the center orbit tool. The icon changes to a different orbit option when you place it in the right spot.
