Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to do anything with the Navigation cube but drag it over the screen.
It looks like it is disabled or something.
I don't have any addons and I did a clean install, removing all related files before installation.
It worked fine in 0.19 though. Any thoughts on this?
Are you using AMD graphics? There's a known issue with that, try enabling software opengl in preferences or downgrade your graphics driver. Search the forum for similar topics for more details.
Thanks for the help. For other people reading this, I rolled back to Adrenalin 21.4.1 and then it worked again. Enabling OpenGL did nothing for me unfortunately.
It's kinda sad actually, is this something AMD should fix or Freecad?
well since we know it works in a version of the driver and not in the next I would lean towards AMD being at fault here. @realthunder do you know if your changes to the navicube could affecting this? perhaps it's using a different set of opengl features than in 0.19?
Yes I was wondering, is there a way to find out if this is a driver bug or maybe Freecad is using some deprecated feature.
Radeon 21.4.1 uses OpenGL® Version - 29.20.11000.14830 apparently.
I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm running a Ryzen system with an AMD GPU. I noticed the issue when AMD released their driver that improved OpenGL performance (I think that was 22.7.1).
Maybe some more information on the matter: At the time I was running freecad 0.19. I upgraded to Radeon 22.7.1 and the navigation cube continued to work at first. I then upgraded FreeCAD to 0.20 and the navigation cube stopped working. At first I thought this was a bug in FreeCAD 0.20 and reinstalled 0.19, however, the issue still persisted even though I did a clean install. Only after a rollback to 22.6.1 FreeCAD was working properly again.
I don't know which of the two is at fault here, but it'd be great if there was a fix that didn't require me to downgrade my graphics driver. I upgraded to 0.20.1 and am running radeon 22.10.1 and the navigation cube is still not working.
Thanks for sharing, at least 22.6.1 is better then 21.4.1 as I suggested, but I agree that it's far from optimal. I don't use the cube an awfull lot, but it's kinda crappy that it doesn't work. You would think more people have this issue if it concerns AMD graphics card drivers, or are there also people with AMD that don't experience this issue?
I just upgraded my AMD driver to 22.10.3 and the navigation cube in FreeCAD 0.20.1 became clickable again - I can't remember if it was supposed to be draggable as well, though. Can someone confirm these?
Hi,
I'm experiencing the same issue... But on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 with the last weekly build and before. This issue doesn't exist with FreeCad 0.19 . My graphic card : Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 2000 (SNB GT1)
