ArchiCAD, by default will only let you constrain to two angles in each quadrant.<BR /> <BR /> I thought I'd share my answer here.<BR /> <BR /> I suggested skewing his grid to -30 degrees and setting his mouse constraints as shown in the attachment. It may be easier not to keep the grid displayed. I don't think I'd recommend using this method all of the time, as it throws out the angles in the co-ordinate box, but it is handy when you need to model at these angles temporarily.<BR /> <BR /> Cheers,<BR /> Link.</T></DIV><BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/72186i978D4F014F9BFBDD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="Mouse-Constraints.jpg" title="Mouse-Constraints.jpg" /> Wed, 31 Aug 2005 18:09:56 GMT Link 2005-08-31T18:09:56Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Constraining-angles-off-Perpendicular-AND-Horizontal/m-p/39890#M19893 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I had a client ask me how he could constrain his mouse at 30 degrees and 45 degrees in every quadrant (like AutoCAD).
