Bug duplicating cameras - a comparison between AC17 And AC20

Karl Wir_n — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 10:02:34 GMT

In recent archicad versions, when making several copies of cameras, there is a new way of ordering cameras in the camera path that doesn't make sense. The last copy will get camera number three, then counting backwards. I have attached two images to show the difference.

I can confirm it does this - no idea why.
And it doesn't matter which way you rotate.

If you want to control the numbering and path then drag copies of a camera and it will insert it in the path (as that camera + 1) and will re-number those after it automatically.

As a work-around (dirty word I know) if you want a perfect circle of cameras then draw a circle and manually place them.

I got a response from GS Hungary:
... "It seems like there has been a change in the placing order of multiplied elements (Multiple Drag and Multiple Rotate as well). This causes this weird path in case of multiplied cameras. Due to my tests, this occurs in ARCHICAD 20, but works well in v19 and earlier versions.

I added a new ticket to the developer database with the ID #225225. We hope, this can be fixed soon."

So I hope this will be fixed soon!
