More working plane confusion; Geometry goes to a different plane

[Ed Wachter]

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here (if anything). I place a working plane and then attempt to place geometry on that plane, but the shapes I'm drawing are snapping down to much a lower plane. Coincidentally, the lower plane appears to be about the correct elevation value, but with a negative sign. Please see attached graphic.

 

Thanks,

Ed

It looks like you are working from a multi-pane view. Have you tried in a normal View?

[Ed Wachter]

Yes, I was working in a floating view pane. I had better luck when I closed that pane and worked with only one pane open. I've encountered this multiple times before. I'll start paying attention to how many view panes I have open, and which one I'm working in.

 

Thanks,

Ed

I still frequently find that geometry that I am placing goes somewhere else besides the Working Plane. What are the variables that affect when the Working Plane is active? I assumed that if the Working Plane is visible then that's where new shapes would be placed. I'm currently working in 2023. Maybe it will get better in later versions.
