Sketchup 2016 rotate
-
Hey guys,
It seems to me the new inferencing system on 2016 has kind of ruined the previous functionality of the rotate tool, unless I am doing something wrong. It's a bit tricky to explain...
Imagine you have a line drawn at an arbitrary angle and wish to rotate it to the red axis. Previously all you would do is select the line, select a rotation origin and a reference point, then move the reference point to align with the red axis. Done.
The new inferencing system appears to rotate the protractor/compass of the rotate tool to "zero" on the line that you are using as your reference angle/point, throwing out the ability to snap to the red axis.
I must be doing something wrong, surely?

It has changed. One tip, try the down arrow.
-
I don't see any changes to the old behavior. Only the addition of the cursor keys to lock the orientation of the rotation axis.

I can't reproduce this problem too, maybe you can create a screencast to show us the problem?

Same here. I just tried that new inference thing and it's fantastic!

Hey Macker... I was freaking out too... and then I got it... To do your "old way" you need to use the down arrow instead of shift. So now there is two ways of doing it. Great feature.

Yeah shift now locks orientation AND plane, down locks orientation only
