I merged two fixes for rotation this morning:
git commit eb407feb60 [TD]fix rotation of complex section
git commit 5cedb9ea4e [TD]fix rotation of cut face hatch
I merged two fixes for rotation this morning:
I think I can automatically rotate the section views to match the section line. It might be hard to avoid being 180* out of phase sometimes, but we could add a "reverse" parameter to handle that.FBXL5 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 3:26 pm The complex and the simple sections have in common that their x axis is always horizontal and not parallel to the section line as one would expect it. (only A-A is according to standards now)

At least the section views are correct according to the section lines and arrow directions, they only need to be automatically turned to the expected angle some how.
I haven't been able to make this one crash yet (good news / bad news). Any more guesses on how to reproduce it?
It does.wandererfan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 3:28 pm Somebody is sure to want manual control of rotation, so my thinking is that if the Rotation property is 0*, we do an automatic rotation to match the section line, but if the Rotation property is non-zero, we use the Rotation value. Does that seem sensible?
No crash with Version: 0.21.30922 (weekly build), too.wandererfan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 09, 2022 3:14 pm My version (Version: 0.21.30899 +1 (Git)) has those two fixes and does not crash when opening "TechDrawTest-1.FCStd".
Using Version: 0.21.30960 +1 (Git) I get a good result looking up. Other SectionNormal directions have alignment issues, but no blank views
So I will wait for the next weekly build and check again.wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:39 pm Using Version: 0.21.30960 +1 (Git) I get a good result looking up. Other SectionNormal directions have alignment issues, but no blank views

Doh! You're quite right. At least the program gets it right.
