Strange Geometry Issue - Block Instance

Rhino
, ,
1

Hey there,
I encountered a strange geometry issue: I inserted a block instance to Rhino with default insertion settings. (The scale parameters here are all set to 1) However, when I checked the details of this insertion, the transformation matrix is not an identity transformation. It showed an auto-scaling happened with no good reason. It doesn’t have this issue when I use Rhino Python to do the insertion.

Does anyone know why? (file attached.)

Hello- I guess it should only get the identity transformation matirx if inserted at W0,0,0.

Block definitions are stored in their original units. If the model is at different units there could be a built in transformation at insert.

If using python to look at the block it is possible that until transformation is bypassed.

Ahh! I just realized 3.28 is the scaling factor from meter to feet. You are right.

Thank you!
