gester Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) hi, i've lost the automatic detection of working plane for massing model editing. in v2014 it worked well (planes lighted blue), in v2015 the cursor sticks to the ground plane, no blue sign. i presume some setting is disabled, but i don't know which one. the same for push-pull - the altkey-drag doesn't cut out anything, the solid remains glued to the main shape. again, probably it has to be set somewhere. can anybody help? thx, rob Edited March 8, 2015 by gester Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 For all files or just your working file? It sounds like it may have been turned off here File>Document Settings>Document Preferences>Plane Mode. It is a file specific preference. Kevin Quote Link to comment
gester Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) kevin, thanks for the input. well, i've tried it in a new file. the preferences are set to 'screen plane or working plane'. i've just searched the forum and i've found the setting for fixing the automatic plane in case of planar objects (toggle backslash), so the blue highlights are back and i can draw on a random plane, but i can't get push-pull working for real cut-outs (the tool is in the 1st or in the 3rd mode, no difference). all i get is the additional solid i'd have to subtract from the main shape. i must be doing something wrong, but i don't know what. rob Edited March 8, 2015 by gester Quote Link to comment

Steven Swaby Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 We have the same issue with setting the Working Plane and the Push Pull is not working at all. It's only in one file yet the setting in File>Document Settings>Document Preferences>Plane Mode is the same as other drawing files where these functions work ok. We have no idea what to do.
