Flyover tool error


Recommended Posts

I submitted this as a bug, but I wondered if anyone else has this experience, and it is to be expected:

- Make a rectangle, extrude it.

- Make smaller rectangle, extrude it.

- Move the extruded boxes together in Top/Plan view, so that they overlap.

- Go to Flyover and rotate into a 3D view.

- Use the 3D Selection Tool with perpendicular constraint to move the smaller box upward a bit, so that it still overlaps the larger one, but its bottom is no longer level with the larger one.

- Subtract Solids.

:: The Flyover Tool will no longer work in Interactive Origin mode (though it will continue to work in Object Origin mode, Ground Plane, or Working Plane mode); no matter what further modifications you make to the model, including working in other Design Layers, Interactive Origin mode will no longer be available.

Is this to be expected?

Interestingly, if you move the boxes around without using the 3D Selection Tool or the perpendicular constraint, but instead just drag objects with the regular Selection tool in the different ortho views, the Flyover Tool is not affected.

That's how I usually do this sort of thing, and it's why I never noticed this before.
