see attached 3dm file.
If there was set Cplane by Y axis I could simply click at 0 then 1 and be done
I need to have edge 0-1 as Y axis and the surface edge 0-3 upright. (Z axis) In the actual model there is no X axis line to use,
0 to be origin.
I need the PURPLE circle (and I am seeing a pecked line circle in Top view, yet solid in others, dont know why !) as a circle in top view.
The smaller surface should not have its face visible in Right view and I should be seeing the main surface with 0 bottom left.
Front view will see edge 0-3 ‘nearest me’.
A slight adjustment to Cplane at base of surface should achieve this, but how ?
What do I choose and what do I click on and in what order regards corners 0 1 2 3 etc to get what I want in absence of Cplane Y axis command ?
Click on 0
mouse over Osnaps with Ctrl depressed and click PerpFrom
Click 0-1 edge
Click 0
drag mouse in positive X direction and click anywhere unsnapped
Click 1
Your CPlane is set parallel to the ground with Y starting at 0 and going at 1 direction.
To see your purple circle as a solid try Zoom Extents in Top view. Looks like some kinda graphical glitch to me. Zoom E fixes it.
That circle vanished, as you say a glitch. It was a new file and a circle drawn so why that I dont know. caused by Rhino and Graphics card combined ?
GTX970 is new to the world as of approx Sep2014 so if there are conflicts, and I had part of my screen not responding and part moving, I guess Rhino have to ask Nvidia to sort it. I am seeing odd things happen.
So one has to in effect use the X axis, in this way we are creating it, I wish there was a Y axis option, at least for the novices, when there is X and Z, anyhows this I will have to remember to offset lack of such.
Hi Asterisk,
Is that because my V5 has somehow drawn a circle that is corrupt, (worrying as its done it again in a new file a few draws into the life of the file) or is it that V5 has a bug for us all.
