AC23 - CRASH TO DESKTOP WHEN CHANGING SLANT ANGLE IN 3D FROM PET PALETTE

Anonymous

Changing slant angle in 3D from pet palette causes archicad 23 to crash to desktop. The problem only occurs if Reference Line Distance is set to number smaller than zero as shown in the attached image, and only through graphical editing via pet palette. The crash doesn't occur if the slant angle is edited using "ctrl+t" (Curtain Wall Selection Settings).

This problem can easily and consistently be reproduce with the simple step of creating curtain wall, change its reference line distance to any number smaller than zero, then try to edit its slant angle graphically using pet palette in 3D.

I've been drawing and using curtain wall with this setting without any problem since a couple of versions back.

If i change the Reference Line Distance to zero or any number larger than zero, draw the curtain wall, and then offset the Reference line distance manually either in floor plan or 3D, then - in my opinion - the whole workflow will become too cumbersome, especially if the building isn't just a simple "box" so this workaround isn't acceptable.

Can anyone confirm if this is in fact a bug? if it is, is there any fix yet?

thanks in advance
