mmyoung Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) 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? Michael Young v2008 (SP3) OS 10.5.4 Edited July 16, 2008 by mmyoung Quote Link to comment
mmyoung Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited July 16, 2008 by mmyoung Quote Link to comment
mmyoung Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Also... It seems like even after you delete the offending objects, the file will not recover full use of Flyover on any layer. It remains kaput. Quote Link to comment
