Morph rotate - Editing plane

Titiriga — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:57:10 GMT

Hello.

I'm having trouble in ArchiCAD 29. Don't know If Im doing something wrong, but in previous versions of AC, when manipulating morphs in 3D, if I wanted to rotate one for example, I would type the comand for rotate and then with the cursor hovering over a face of the object wose plane coresponded with the plane I wanted to perform the rotation in, the rotation "disk" or what its name may be, would position itsef on that plane and then I would perform the actula rotation. If the "disk" didn't snap to the right plane or that proved difficult, I would use Editing plane-Pick plane and just click on the plane I wanted before performing the rotation.
Now, in AC29, after I use Editing plane-Pick plane, to select the desired plane, the "disk" dosent snap to that plane. I have the desired editing plane set (vertical), but the rotation "disck" is still horizontal (see picture). I cant seem to get that rotation "disck" to be anithing other than horizontal.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Operating system used: Windows

Hello Stefan,

That option appears to be View > Surface Snap. I had it turned on.

The strange thing is that Archicad now seems to behave normally (as expected) whether that option is on or off. At this point, I can't reproduce the original problem anymore.

Your suggestion seems to have solved it, although I'm no longer sure what the actual issue was. I don't know what happened in the first place.

Thank you!

select morph. edit > move > rotate (com+E). BEFORE clicking, right click, editing plane > pick plane. click on the face you need to rotate on, then define original reference and final rotation.
