0 Guest Alex Sagatov Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 @bjoerka I have submitted this over to our Engineering Team for further review ( VB-160440 ). From looking at this here, it is hard for me to confirm if this is a bug or not. For this object type, Auto-Align Plane is what I would personally always use. Perimeter will be used more in cases where you have curved geometry. I believe push/pull is changing the face which it is considering the top for the perimeter mapping which is why we are seeing these rotations. If it is technically a bug or not, I would personally still consider this unexpected behavior. I will see what Engineering finds and update you as we go. Quote Link to comment
0 Andy Broomell Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I think the relevant aspect here is that the Push-Pull tool results in a Solid Addition. I often find that my textures rotate 90° when an object is turned into a Solid Addition or Subtraction, compared to when it was just an Extrude. Which is pretty annoying... If this were determined to be a bug and fixed, I'd be a happy camper 🙂 Edited May 15, 2019 by Andy Broomell 1 Quote Link to comment
0 bjoerka Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Yes. Auto align plane might be the right one but in general i think that this behaviour is not what should happen here. Thanks for forwarding it to the tech guys! Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Yes, the first Mode of PushPullTool wil convert Generic Solids into Complex Solid Additions/Subtractions. While the second Mode will keep the original Object Type. (But is more limited or not as capable as the first Mode) Like for an Extrude's side it will mostly just edit the 2D geometry inside and for the Top Face it will just adjust the extrusion hight. Not sure if it would keep a Wall a Wall though and just change its Length. Quote Link to comment

This isn't quite true. In both the first and second modes, clicking on either the "top" or "bottom" of an Extrude will adjust the extrusion height, while clicking on any other side will result in a Solid Addition/Subtraction (in first mode) or Generic Solid (in second mode). No mode edits the 2D geometry within the extrude (as far as I'm aware). The main difference between the two modes has more to do with angled surfaces and how it handles those. The two icons for the modes are pretty insightful in this case. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) More important for me is that the 1st Mode (Which I normally avoid) allows to get rid of Parts of "multiple independent Volume" Solids, while 2nd preferred Mode normaly refuses to do. (Like shrinking one Face to the opposite Face to delete a Box) But I immedeately clean up such constructs back to Generic Solid after. Edited May 15, 2019 by zoomer Quote Link to comment
Question
bjoerka
why does the orientation of a texture, that is applied as perimeter, change when the geometry is modified i.e. with the push pull tool?
The same is happening when you bool a hole, taper a face and so on.
When the texture mode is set to plane, this does not happen.
