Shift constraint angle off hor. and vert.

[KeesW]

I have and issue with using the 'SHIFT' constraint to place elements vertically or horizontally. Sometimes, the constraint puts the object just off vert. or hor..The off angle is around 1 degree or even less and it is often too close to notice. It is only when one aligns it with something that is correctly hor. or vert. that it is noticed. Then, it seems to fix itself, until it re-occurs - usually unwittingly. I've had this happen in many recent versions including AC19.

Hi!

Most of the issues mentioned in this thread can be traced back to a certain BUG in ARCHICAD which turned up in build 4011.

This bug has been fixed and we plan to release a Fast Update this week. This should correct most (if not all of the issues mentioned here.)
Tx, k

I've encountered this problem recently in v21 6013, not for all users however, which leads me to believe there could be something in a users work environment causing this.

We need to have angle unit set to 4 decimal places or SHIFT will model walls under 0.0005° off, when the angle unit is 2 decimal places, model elements read as 0.00° despite being ever so slightly off.

The only reason you notice is in elevation when you're getting a line where 2 walls at different levels meet.
