[image] Above the most simple case that annoys me: select 3 of 6 CVs of the black Hexagon. Gumball Position is calculated as center of the red Bounding Box. my wish _GumballRelocate should offer different options to calculate the Gumball Location: BoundingBox-Center (current default) Average…

… well one of this topics, I do not understand the dynamics of this forum. … maybe friday is a bad day to post stuff. another example where the alignment is not intuitive … for an planar edge loop - i expect an “orient to Object” Gumball being sensitive for this planarity. “best fit Plane” in my…

imo this still needs some tuning… the object is a bit of an odd shape so the result is not insane, but it would be nice if it could see the planarity.

is there a Gumball-Orientation bug ( again ) ? or did we get an update, that made it worth ? (Mac, Intel, Version 8 (8.12.24254.14002, 2024-09-10)) a simple EdgeLoop on a freely orientated subd-Cylinder with Gumball to Object defaults back to World/C-Plane ?? [Screenshot 2024-09-18 at 11.14.12] …

@mikko may I ask you to have a look at this - you where working on some gumball alignment / orientation issues Thanks

Hi @Tom_P , I’ve added this thread to https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-86215 as more feedback related to alignment wishes. Thanks.

another case where the default algorithm somehow gives unexpected result: [image] Gumball Position for Arcs with small sweep angle i came across the following - drawing an arc with small sweep angle - the gumball is far of screen [Screenshot 2025-09-29 at 13…

please - more love for the gumball location: a planar subd patch with 4x2 faces. it s planar. !!! ??? [Screenshot 2025-10-01 at 17.26.25] gumball_position.3dm (3.1 MB)

The Gumball is certainly off kilter. I mean, how hard can it be to orient on a plane? What I really dislike is that, if you relocate the Gumball to a specific location, next time you’ll want to use it, it is no longer there. I mean, why is that?
