I found a problem:
- open BIM Workbench
- create a solid cube from the toolbar
- double click on the cube in the tree view
- you can't drag the rotation spheres... (the displacement arrows work normally)

This only happens in BIM Workbench. In Part Workbench you can create the cube and the rotation spheres and arrows can be dragged... But if you move to BIM WB and try to do manipulate the spheres... the function fails for both workbenches.

There are two ways of operating the transform tool
1) Single click on arrow or sphere and move the mouse without any button pressed.
2) Click and keep the left mouse button pressed and move

Do you have the issue with both variants?

Yes, in both cases. But now I found is not associated to BIM WB only. It also happens with Arch Workbench (in fact, sometimes strange things happen with transformation tool in other WB but with Arch WB it looks always fails at once). I noticed because BIM WB includes the solid cube in the toolbar. It happens with any solid, I guess.

- Create a solid cube in Part WB
- move to Arch WB
- activate transformation tool
- try to select the rotation spheres. They can be selected but won't move...

Sorry if it's obvious but let's sort trivial problems out. When I follow your advice the cube is in the XY plane. That means you cannot turn the object in any other plane. Thus the green and the red sphere do nothing.

Yes, it is in the XY plane. But it happens with the three spheres. I recorded a video to be more clear. But maybe I am doing something wrong?

Thanks for the animation. It is very likely that the mistake is not on your side. Can someone using the same system please verify?

Is it possible to move this part of the thread to another forum? I do not want to interrup the BIM WB discussion.
Thx.

Hello !

Not sure if this post is in the right topic or if it deserves its own...

I've talked to Open-datBIM at their booth at the Passive House Convention in Paris this month. They describe themselves as a free BIM product and object download platform. I understand that from this platform, FreeCAD could have properties about materials quite easily.

I thought it could be of interest to you, even if it maybe a little early. Hope this helps!
