Issue: Rotated DD3 symbol does not match wireframe

gorkwobbler

Hi, I just started learning CC3 (with DD addon) and I ran into this bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached map file
2. Click on Dungeon GeoMorph and choose DD3 Color Geomorph basics
3. Click on "G1 Stairs 5'..." (the elbow shape)
4. Hold the "Shift" key to rotate the stair, then release and move the wireframe until it matches the other stair, as shown in the screenshot.
5. Left-click to place.

Expected results:
The stair should match the wireframe and line up with the other stair.

Actual results:
The stair is offset by about half a tile.

This seems like a major bug that makes the tool unusable. I don't know if there is something I am doing wrong? Help??

The reason is that you have Snap on (Buttons lower right). With snap on, when you click to place it, the placement point for the symbol (where the crosshair is on the wireframe) will be placed at the nearest snap point, and not at the exact point you have your cursor.

I also noticed that the offset from the displayed placement seems random, depending on where I put the symbol... so I can't really even correct for it by offsetting the wireframe slightly

In case you didn't notice since you was probably writing your last post at the same time I was posting mine, see my answer above.

Oh, I am using CC3+ Version 3.94, CAD version 6.2.0, Windows 10 Home (x64)

OK, thanks Monsen! Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was able to turn off snap and fix it, but I still strongly feel this is a bug. If it is snapping to a point, the wireframe should show the snapping behavior and where the tile will actually drop.

Thank you for your help

You can select that too, if you right click the snap button and enable cursor snap, the preview will also snap. It is down to a matter of preference how you prefer things to behave.
