Double Projected Geometry on First Try

[sewais]

Greetings,

I've noticed this happening multiple times, & can almost replicate it as needed. When ever sketching & selecting the PROJECT feature, then selecting a face, the geometry generated is doubled up on top of itself. This is extremely irritating as deleting or 'breaking links' just doesn't do anything sometimes.

Any one else experiencing the same thing?

You have that behaviour because the face is projected on selection of the face.

It a preference setting.  Start over, after selecting a face to put the sketch on, hide the body, you will have projected the face, but the purple outlines are not showing un5il you mouse over the boundaries.

Either turn off the preference setting, or don’t Project the face manually.

Might help….

Hi Dave,

Can you give an example? Or show where this preference setting is?

I need to project some geometry from the face & tie it into geometry that I offset.

This only happens on the first extract. Once I delete all the projected geometry, & try again, it works as intended.

Preferences, check for Auto project on reference, or similar, 

or are you looking for the preferences.

In the movie second time round the sketch exists, 

Repeatable for when creating new sketch, on a selected face, until you turn off that Preference.

I found it. Thank you for your help.
