It does however seem to leave behind any child objects on my testing.
I admit, I didn't even think of considering child objects when I made this request.
Many thanks again.

You can also use the "Object Pivot" tool to set object's orientation. At 6:47, https://youtu.be/yuCPC_OShRY.

Object mode > Place On Ground Floor. See if it works in the way you want.

I'm curious why the orientation is flipped about?

NVILL Discussion / Create a Box in Front ortho view, Object Orientation not match World orientation
« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on October 21, 2025, 06:56:33 am »When I try to create a Box within the front orthographic viewport, the box's object orientation is not aligned with the world orientation.
As in X, Y and Z now are different.
Creating the box within Perspective viewport, the Box Object and World orientations are the same.
For practical purposes, i am trying to trace around a Background viewport image in front viewport which I will also manipulate in the other viewports to further define the shape.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour?
Many Thanks.

« Last post by Mike_Hocksworth on October 21, 2025, 03:04:12 am »Thank you,
That makes sense now.
Although I do wonder if a specific command could possibly added in the future that allows the following:
- Pick object (in object mode)
- Run command (Place on ground/Rest on ground)
The object would then be sent so it's base was resting on the grid height of 0 (ground plane).
Many thanks.

I tried messing about with it but it wasn't snapping the shape down to the ground plane/grid lines.
