3D items and their hotspot not aligining

[Johnsly]

Help, I am working on an Archicad file that was previously worked on by someone else, when I view items in 3d, the 3d object itself does not align with its hotspots. See attached.

@Johnsly Looks like the hotspots in 3D are independent of the shape’s geometry and the shape has been redefined? No short answer to fix that.

When you say 3D object you mean element - column perhaps?

Objects are scripting and the problem you show could be down to bad scripting.

But it seems to have a reference line which is why I am thinking it is a column and not an object.

This can happen if you are modelling a long way from the Project Origin.

Always try to model close to the Project Origin.

As Barry said, this could also be a far from origin problem. See here:

@Barry Kelly Well spotted. Definitely looks like a column.
