Workplane

1. Lock Work Plane.
Now if you lock workplane it looks like this:


And when you go to the any other(Not Custom or Top/Bottom) views it looks like this:

So you can not see workplane.

But it have to look like this:


So my request is modify pleas Lock Workplane so we will see workplane in all views.

2. We have sometimes unwanted behaviour with - Use World Y-Axis In 3D-Viewport Rotation. Some times when you want to rotate viewport it start to rotate in opposite direction. Check Project I attached and try to rotate viewport, I'll see it works in reverse way.

3. Modify pleas axis orientation in top right corner of viewport, so it will have the World Orientation when you have Use World Y-Axis In 3D-Viewport Rotation ON.
Now it looks like this:


4. Add pleas $ to Align Workplan to Current Transform ZX. I need it to have Button Check state when you set workplane this way. If you will set workplane any other ways $ will be False.

Big +1 for me also about not being able to see the workplane in ortho views.

This is a feature request I was also going to make.

Awaysome!!!

Some little additions:
- can you pleas make Grid Axis to follow Workplane origins when you are in Top, Front... Ortho views and Set navigation Space workplane is ON.

Now it looks like this:


But have to look like this:


- Can you pleas remove from Undo stack operations: Align Workplane to current transform... and Align Workplane to world...

For my request, that is fantastic, thanks Istonia !

Is it possible to also make the workplane centre itself on the selected geometry so you can use grid snapping to model new objects ?

Kevjon,
Workplane must be set as you wish (Grid Axis do not work yet).
What command do you use to align workplane? Do you switch to Workplane Navigation Space?

IStonia, Grid Axis still stay at World Origin in Top, Left... Ortho views.
Also - "Align Workplane..." commands are still in Undo Stack.

Try again

Kevjon, everything works good!
Check my video, I tell in it how to use workplane new possibilities.

To make workplane work as in video you will need this:

First, Chek this: View>Use World Y-Axis In 3D-Viewport Rotation

Tools:

Set Workplane:

or this:


Reset Workplane:


Turn Grid OFF permanently and use Workplane instead.

Show/Hide workplane use this command:

Thanks for going to so much trouble to explain it all to me and show me the composite tools I need to create.

This setup simplifies things a lot and makes working in Nvil so much more effective.

Thanks to both you and Istonia. Well done !

IStonia, there is no Workplane in Top, Left, Etc. views when you Align it to World.
