Intermittent component placement weirdness
-
Can't get it to happen consistently, but this one is something of an annoyance.
Usually happens placing solar modules on a roof surface. I make each roof face a separate component with its own axes so the modules come in with the right orientation already. Usually the first time, when I import the module model, it will come up right, with the module's origin on the roof face so the module is sitting directly on top of the roof.
The problem comes about randomly when I go to other roof faces. Maybe 15-20% of the time, I click on the module component in the components list, then go to place it and it acts as if the origin is on the top corner instead of the bottom; i.e. it tries to place it inset into the roof with the face flush with the plane of the roof face. Then I have to place it, pull it out above the roof, grab a bottom corner and put it back onto the roof face.
Am I missing something here, or is SU just sometimes inconsistent in how it handles placing components on a plane?

sounds like a reversed faces scenario...
are all faces showing the 'front' face?
