A minor yet serious bug in AC11?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:49:54 GMT

Has anyone tried the special snap points - between intersection points tool on a curved wall with a couple of linear walls trimmed by the curved one? When i try to use the tool in plan, the index point flashes at some weird point which is not definitely the half point for example between the intersection points of walls! However, if you try it in the 3d window, it works fine. Any comments?

A screen shot would help.

If you are using the Special Snap icon among the relative construction methods, I believe this only works along a linear vector.

Here are the screen captures:

plan view; see the flashing point on the far right though i pointed the left side!

and finally the 3d window where it works fine

Very helpful, thank you. It looks like it is between the intersections of the two vertical walls to me -- is that not what you wanted?

EDIT: Made this post before the 3rd screen shot was posted. So it's showing the midpoint, but between the wrong vertical walls?

I'm having no problem with straight walls, but it finds the midpoint of the curved wall on the reference side and a seemingly random point of the curved wall on the other side (using Stuart's example). Something does seem wrong...

Since Stuart removed his examples...

No problem with straight walls. The bug occurs with curved walls and only in plan view.
To make it more clear, if you try to find the middle point of the curve between intersection points in the first zone, the snap point flashes on some random point far from your intention, in my case, on the other zone.

Yes -- I agree. It does not seem to be working as it should.

That's the beauty of this forum. Or, at least, if you are an idiot, you're not the only one.

no other comments? or is it something that minor not worth commenting on?

Same problem here. Not much to comment on this ... except that I hope it will be fixed in the next hotfix (or maybe in AC 12).

Cheers.
