Clipping Plane Align Bottom is a Joke

[ShynnSup]

Seriously guys, I run the command 20 times before realizing Align Bottom is taking into account the abstract triangular pointers of the clipping plane

If its not obvious I would like to report a bug and request a change for this behavior. Thanks.

Any align if the arrows point that side is a problem. Actually the text can also be an issue.

This is aligned top to 0

Yup.

SetPt can be used to accurately locate the clipping plane.

RH-86719 Align Clippingplane: ignore triangles

[AlW]

Apparently it should be “ignore triangles and text” or even better “align to clipping plane itself”. In fact, perhaps options should be provided for each of text, triangles or plane.

@AlW thanks I’ll add the text issue to it. In the YT I’ve already mentioned that the clipping plane should be handled as a normal plane. I miss to understand though why you would want options for text and triangle inclusion though.

I miss to understand though why you would want options for text and triangle inclusion though.

Because they are visible and you never know when a user will emerge that “really needs it!” ?

I’ll let them complain first

Just yesterday, I ran into similar issue with a rectangular light, which aligned to the end of the direction arrow instead of the light plane itself.

It was a V-Ray light but the same happens to native Rhino light.
