OBJECTiVE snap points

Anonymous — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:32:45 GMT

I have recently started using the OBJECTiVE add-on for archicad which has been working exelently and enabled me to loads of stuff!!

I have one issue and that is on each corner of a object i model instead of having just 1 snap point there is 3!! they r very close together so from a normally zoomed view they appear as 1 point. But in reality when you pick up the objects and move them they can be in a slightly wrong position.

All this mouse wheel scrolling is giving me a sore finger is there anyway to just have 1 snap point in each corner?

The hotspots placed on objects are supposed to be distributed around the surface more widely than that - could you send an example for me to look at? If you have any support questions, you can always send them direct to Encina - probably much quicker than posting in ArchiCAD-Talk (it might be missed altogether if we aren't looking carefully!)

The support contact email address will be included with your registration details, but you can also post a query through our website at: http://www.encina.co.uk/contact.html

If you send the object to me I can diagnose the reasons for hotspots ending up in such close proximity. It obviously isn't practical to work with them in those positions.
