RL-inc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Late to the party in regards to X15 upgrade but here I am. Jumped from X13 -X15 so if this was something that was a change in X14 forgive me. One thing I am noticing is a difference in some sizing and movement as I scroll in and out. For instance, as I move walls Recording 2024-02-24 110006.mp4 I need to scroll -zoom in fairly close to make smaller jumps - if I am zoomed out very far at all the jump is larger than I prefer. see attached video.

MarkMc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 For tracing walls I set plan default snap distance to the thickness of drywall and use arrow keys. I usually have grid snaps off so don't need to override. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 In your video, do you see the red "X" when the wall jumps? I think that means you picked up an "intersection" snap point so you must have something, maybe behind the picture, that you are snapping to. Turn off object snaps and you won't see that happen. If you want the wall to move on even increments, then you can turn on grid snaps and use the arrow keys like Mark suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB, I don't think the red cross is a plain old intersection snap. I believe it is a Wall Intersection Extension Snap. Like this when drawing continuous walls: In the video the wall is snapping to itself. Wall Intersection Extension Snaps As walls are drawn, extension lines identify points that are either collinear or orthogonal to the end points of other walls. These extension lines identify potential intersection points and display only when Intersection Snaps are enabled. See Creating Walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Since he is moving the wall using the middle move handle I don't think it is exactly the same as what you are showing. I think you are right that the wall is snapping to itself though since it looks like it is just picking up the other side of the wall. I tried this in an old version X12 and it does the same thing so I don't think this is anything that was changed. I guess I never really noticed this before but I am pretty sure turning off object snaps would prevent this regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I don't think he is using the middle move handle to move the wall. That grip will centre on the wall only for a short distance either side of the centre point. It is not restricted to the centre of the wall - it will locate where you click on the wall. Turning off Intersection Snaps or all Object Snaps prevents the use of Wall Intersection Extension Snaps because they share the same setting. See the help file in my previous post.

It's snapping and yeah it happens in larger jumps when you're zoomed out, which is normal. Maybe you had snaps off in your previous version? Also, you can hold down the Alt(Control?)* key to temporarily suppress snaps so you don't get that behavior. (*Not sure which key on the PC but it's the Command key on the Mac) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn something new every day. BTY, just for the record, 'as long as you can remember' and 'a very long time aren't necessarily the same thing.

glennw Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Rich, What I said could be read two ways, but, what I meant was: When I said "as long as I can remember", it wasn't a definition, but rather a qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
