GROUP AXIS IN SU8 PROBLEM
-
This change has severely complicated the functionality of the axis tool for anyone who works with a lot of nested groups.
In my architectural models, I have hundreds of nested groups. Now, if I want to work on a portion of a building set at 45 degrees from the rest, I have to repeatedly set the axis to 45 for every group in that portion. Before, I could set it at 45 for the whole model, work on that section of the building, then change it back when needed.
I don't get it. If I want individual axis control for a group, then I'll make a component of it.
I can't change back to SU7 (even if I could find an old download) because everyone in my office works in SU8.
Saving models as different versions is a nightmare on a server-based file system.Can this possibly be addressed with a plugin?

hi,
you may need to use 'align view' and 'solar north' to switch between two [or more] 'modeling axis'
if you use solar north on an empty drawing you'll see it follows the green. if you draw a plane ['rectangle tool'] at origin it follows the red/green axis's, if you then rotate the face 45° >>right click the face >> select 'change axis', any new geometry, groups or components will use that axis orientation. Now rotate you face back to solar north >>right click the face >> select 'change axis', and any thing you draw will be at that axis....
