The thing just seems to fail with the most basic task: Draw a line. [image] Extrude said line in z axis. [image] Extrude surface along normal with gumball. [image] Move box along normal. (the gumball aligns completely wrong, no longer perpendicular to the box). [image] Took us 2024 year…

I can see the logic for that specific case, but I don’t think it is going to be very feasible to keep analyzing the users’ selection to see if the objects could be treated as a single entity or not. If @Joshua_Kennedy thinks differently, I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.

Thing is, when multiple objects are selected, the gumball is re-calculated to the bbox of those objects, obviously. What else should it do? Take the gumball alignment of the first selected object, maybe… that could work. How about it? Could be optional. What’s also bothersome, as mentioned, is tha…

[image] Eugen: To generalize: every time a new object is created from input objects (sweeps, booleans, …), it’s gumball is not ‘estimated’, but simply taken from the (first?) input object. Does that make sense? I think that would make sense in about half the time and drive you crazy in other…

What I’m most tired of the Gumball about is that it has no memory. In fact, I’d argue that it has an acute case of alzheimers. If I set the Gumball on an object in a certain way, and then use it once, it resets back to whatever was before. It’s like Rhino is actively fighting me. …

Strange. Works here. The ‘align to object’ mode shows whatever the gumball was set to, manually. Right?

[image] Eugen: Strange. Works here. Did you try [image] eobet: use it once
