odd library part behaviour

Anonymous — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 18:56:16 GMT

ArchiFolk,

I am having an anomaly with a library part - office chair 01 11. The 2d position in plan is different than the location of the object in 3d. Same z dimension, but off by several feet in both the x and y dimension. When I grab and move in 3d the bounding box for the object is obviously shifted from the objects visible location. Any ideas,

TIA

Hi Brian,

Only because it's you 😉 I spent more time that it was worth looking at this object. Indeed, the 2D symbol was not aligned with the 3D. This is a an example of the worst possible GDL.

Attached is a quick-fix version that has the symbol and 3D aligned as they should be.

Cheers,
Karl

Brian,
I have had that happen with an object and what
seemed to correct the situation is to, in plan,
cut and then paste the object back into the plan.
This somehow corrected the position of the object in 3D.
You might try it.
