Clip Cube Orientation

[shorter]

When setting a working plane, or when selecting a 3D object I wish the clip cube would automatically orientate itself to the plane or the object and we would not have to rotate the clip cube about the Z axis.

Well, I am really happy that I 99% have to deal with rectilinear geometry only,

so I wouldn't have noticed. But if I think of the rare case where parts of the Building

may have been rotated 12 ° or so,

I think that would make sense !

I wholeheartedly agree. And/or be able to set alternative default angles of rotation as per this post:

I agree, my preference is to model buildings true to north and set up views for working on these orthogonally - not always following the layer plane. Clip cubes are an incredibly powerful feature, so allowing a user to more easily align clip cubes with working planes, or objects would hugely streamline the process.

LOL, thanks for letting know that I could rotate the clip cube around the z-axis!  I must have missed that one!
