3D modelling_Hold X, Y axis issue - 5 years after

[Alskaro]

Hello 

Exactly the same issue .. Still not possible to properly hold an axis with shift (as in every other 3d program)

Sometimes, the axis move, even with shift pressed, sometimes, it just wont activate any form of locking and start shaking frenetically ...

I tried changing the edition plane, doesn't seems to have any impact unfortunately.

Is it possible to expect a fix ? Like just a real axcis lock not matter what, until the moment you finished your action or typed esc ?

That would be really rellay useful.

Tell me if I just use the 3d in a bad way, in my opinion I tried everything to make it right but maybe not ...

Thank you, have a nice day.

The snap guide lines are temporary and come and go as you move the mouse around.

You can active snap guides by hovering over an edge or node for a second and you will get a solid blue line or circle that will generate even more snap guides.

In 3D if the snap guides are at the same elevation you can find the intersection of them.

The don't even need to be horizontal.

Have a look in the help guide for information on the snap guides.

The help reference here seems to be off-line at the moment

@Noemi Balogh , do you have any ideas why this is so?

Barry.

We seems to have an issue with our redirect links currently. It is reported to IT and we are working on it. Thanks for the report @Barry Kelly !

Sir Barry I have a bit of trouble to make it properly work finally, the right click -> lock on guide do really well the job but I can't manage to keep my new axis.. I relocate my origin : ok, I make my oriented grid : ok, but when I try to edit my slab it go back to an other axis settings.. 😕

Do you know why ?

Thank you

As I mentioned the origin and axis does not really matter.

Start to stretch the node and the origin ans axis should relocate.

Drag the node in the direction you want and hold SHIFT to constrain to the closes axis or guide line.

That is all I am doing in this clip, trying to do the same as you.

Hello Barry. Thank you for your message.

As shown in your video, I tried to do the same but the axis doesnt automatically relocate ... Do you know why ? I'm in archicad 27. Thanks. Have a nice day.

The origin does relocate but it doesn't rotate.

I think it was because I had a rotated grid before.

You can set the rotated grid if you want but you can probably just use the snap guides.

The edges of your slab automatically project the snap guide lines along the length of the edge which you can snap to.
