      Hi,

      Why, when I build an object that is aligned with the "world" axis and at the centre origin point does its bounding box not seem to stay aligned?

      I have attached 2 pictures which should explain better what I mean.

      They show the top view (Parallel Projection) of a building I have created and then made as a group.

      When this group is clicked on and selected the bounding box seems to be askew. The second picture (altered in Photoshop) shows how I would have expected the bounding box to look like.

      Can anyone explain why I am getting this result?
      Thanks.

      Regards
      Mr S

        Are you sure you haven't changed the axes? If you right click on one,is there a "Reset" item available in the context menu?

        (SU 7 would do it "correctly" even if you change the axes...)

          Hi Gaieus,

          Yes, thats the answer.
          I forgot that I must have changed the axis at some point.

          Nice to know that SU7 has "fixed" this issue.

          Thanks.

          Regards
          Mr S

            yes, that is one of the most important bug fixes in SketchUp 7 in my opinion (seriously). because now it makes sense to actually change the coordinate axes (previously I never did it, precisely because of this issue)

              Well, I wouldn't call the "old" behaviour a bug but maybe a feature everyone disliked ๐Ÿ˜„

              Actually, at least inferencing works/ed in changed axis mode in SU 6 as well.
