… I can replicate this bug. ^
I sort of feel this is related to this (which still got no replies…)
The double-click on control net to get loop selection need some cleanup.
I never ever use “Align to Object”, because in that mode Gumball directions are unpredictable, unreliable, even “dangerous”.
Most of the time I have “Align to CPlane” instead.
But, for the new feature of moving grips along control net + normals, “Align to Object” is now a must.
Would it be possible to have two “Align to” modes active at the same time?
A mode for generic selections > current normal behavior.
A mode for when only grips are selected > here I would have “Align to ControlNet” most of the times (or sometime again “to CPlane”).
Currently you have to constantly swap mode… or even worse, you might not remember the mode is not CPlane/World but Object, and make edits that will later turns into errors (because “Align to Object” is unreliable).
This leads to:
I did made a color palette proposal here:
Absolute XYZ > pure RGB colors
CPlane XYZ > slightly darker colors
Object UVW > slightly lighter colors
Object grips > different colors
(and this could and should apply also to Grid axes colors…)
Currently we have always the same 3 RGB colors applied in every context.
It would really help to have the gumball silently suggesting and remembering (and warning) the user that the mode is World/CPlane/Object mode. Less errors, more clarity, at NO expense in adding new elements to the UI.
Please consider this.
Please, remember to add all control net directions for SubD grips on extraordinary vertices.
It’s enough if to have it you have to select a single grip. Better than nothing.
