detection of working plane / push-pull not cutting


Recommended Posts

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

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
