I created this same thread in years past, and this is still a bug in v23.1. After Sketchup has been open for a while (length of time varies), it stops recognizing axes when moving objects. For example, using the move tool, I won’t get any inferenced axes when moving an object. This becomes true for…

Same issue here. It is quite annoying isn’t it.

You can also use the axis lock keys (arrow keys) to constrain movement.

[image] Anssi: You can also use the axis lock keys (arrow keys) to constrain movement. I think this was about finding the axes (without arrow keys involved). Arrow keys will always work from where you are in space (-> parallel to one of the axes). Unlike inferencing (-> finding) one of the a…

I get this from time to time, I’ve never been able to put my finger on what exactly causes it

[image] Elmtec-Adam: I’ve never been able to put my finger on what exactly causes it A loss of memory question? Like switching from focussing on different endpoints etc.

The core inferencing usually functions as normal, but if you try to snap a line you are drawing to the blue axis for example, it does not find it ever. If this is happening, tapping the up arrow key to lock it changes the colour of the line to blue , however no snapping happens so you have a total…

In a normal situation as soon as you tap up , the line you are mid through drawing would become vertical and turn blue - essentially only the length changes (depending on what you are inferencing) When the bug kicks in, It never goes vertical - it’s as if axis snapping is gone. The line you are dra…

yeah, in my mind it is always blue.
