Added geometry after rotate?

[MIKE_B]

Hi all

 

I get this quite often and not sure why. I just merged a DE-STA-CO clamp into my file and when I rotate it to the right orientation for my file I get boxes around the clamp. Any ideas why?

 

Thanks

Mike

Are you sure it's not refreshing your screen properly. I get the boxes when I XForm a solid (to show the boundary box of the solid) and then they go away after the XForm is complete.

Is this screen shot from AFTER you've rotated the part?

Yes this is after I rotated the part. I refresh and still there.

I get this if the main level is not on.Rotating or translating.

So If I leave my main level on and rotate the clamp I am not going to get the boxes? I'll give it a shot

[MIKE_B]

Mark

 

You are right. If I translate or rotate with the main level on, the box is there but goes away after I hit accept. I then turned my main level off and did the samething. I had no box on my clamp level but then turned the main level back on and the box was on the main level...

And undo does not get rid of the box...

[Mark V.]

Yeah I have done it many times to.All i can do is delete them.

[MIKE_B]

Bump....

 

Anyone no a fix? Sucks to have to delete this everytime

[camgeneration]

mr2 and they still don't fix for it yet? I have learned to keep the main level on a unused level if i'm not activley making geometry so its easier to delete, or can be left on all the time so it doesn't create it in the first place. maybe by the x2 mr2 it will be fixed. i won't be able to afford the upgrade untill then anyways, if not x3. i will be on x level 3 mr1 for a while. just trying to learn to live with the bugs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this extra geometry is somehow associated with the solid it may need to xform with it?

IMO it is a sort of pre view for the new position of the transformed geo

Yes its a preview but after excepting the new position the box geometry stays
