[fixed] [bug 4495] 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
The NaviCube offers the 6 main faces, but also each a face on every edge and each at every corner.
The problem is that the faces at the edges and corners do not work as expected - It should rotate the part by 45°but it rotates the party by 90°. here is an example: Can anyone confirm this bug or do i make a mistake?

Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
I see there a related issue (perhaps technically the same origin as the one I reported in the initial post):
- click on a corner of the NaviCube
- then try to select an edge of the cube
result: this is not possible. When you click on what is offered, you end up on a base plane of the cube, despite you explicitly have not clicked on a base plane. Here an example:

Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
Is this documented somewhere ? Or is there some other evidence (eg. in the code) that this behavior should exist ? (Sorry if dumb question).

The same issue is mentioned in the wiki documentation:

Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
Thanks for the pointer. I searched the bug database before I posted here. I wonder that this issue is not yet reported. I will do this.Roy_043 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 2:22 pm The same issue is mentioned in the wiki documentation:

Who added the NaviCube to FC, maybe he/she is interested in having a look?

Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
The first issue you describe is that when you mouse over the edge, the blue you see is actually the side face in perspective, through the cube. And when you press it, you are aligned to look at it. I just assumed this was intended behaviour.
I agree it would be good to be able to choose edges. But then you can't select the side-faces, since they are behind the edge.
PS in Preferences > General > Navigation you can press "Enable Animation". I think the navigation cube is much more enjoyable that way.

Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
Maybe the edge selection was just forgotten? As I see it there should be thin white selectable areas in the middle of the edge chamfer so you still can click through the chamfer to reach back facing orientations.
Re: 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
The chamfer planes don't work and this is the bug. In the OCC examples one can see that they are working in principle.
Here is the bug report: https://tracker.freecadweb.org/view.php?id=4495
Re: [bug 4495] 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
My point was that there is nothing to click there. On the sides you have big light rounded rectangles. On the vertices you have light circled. But nothing you can select on the edges(chamfers). So who ever made that probably just did not realize the functionality for some reason.
Re: [bug 4495] 45° rotation via NaviCube does not work
I usually don't use the NaviCube, but I am pretty sure that the chamfers worked with 45° turns, when it was introduced.
