Move / copy objects with locked direction and coordinates

Serengeti (Rhino WIP)

Hi all,
There is a feature I really miss in Rhino 6 compared to Rhino 5.
In RH 5 you were able to move or copy an object (for example at unknown coordinates) along the Z axis to its desired Z coordinate using the move or copy command with locked direction (Vertical=Yes) and promted coordinates.

RH 5:

RH5_before
RH5_before.jpg1000×950 176 KB

RH5_after
RH5_after.jpg1000×950 195 KB

The result is a transformed object with same X / Y coordinates and the given Z coordinate.

RH 6:

RH6_before
RH6_before.jpg1000×950 173 KB

RH6_after
RH6_after.jpg1000×950 190 KB

The result in Rhino 6 differs insofar as the locked direction is ignored and the transformation is 100% done to the given coordinates.

Is there any fast workaround for this “problem” where I do not need to check the initial coordinates of the object wanted to transform?

@pascal @stevebaer Or to implement the direction lock into Rhino 6.

Hi Clemens,

This was fixed in https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-42677 but you won’t see it until the 6.1 service release which will be shortly after the initial 6.0 release. I know that’s a little odd from a user’s perspective considering how we haven’t shipped v6 yet… sorry for the delay.
