Hello,
I am encountering a strange behavior when I try to draw a construction line parallel to a construction line that is in a subgroup.
It seems the tool does not properly taking into account the transformation of the group.
Is this a problem you are also experiencing?
This seems normal to me. Guidelines are oriented to the world/model axes and guides inside of groups and components are aligned the group or component axes. So editing context controls the inferencing.
Except the guide isnât parallel to the global axes either.
BTW, this isnât a new thing. Itâs been like this for as long as I can remember.
Just noticed this⌠that is fâd up and I think a bug - because it does not draw with the world axis or the group axis:
If I reference a line in the group (when outside of the group) - things work as expected.
But if I reference the guideline⌠it is pretty weird.
Yes, in my example, it seems to apply the rotation twice.
Yes, same issue with SketchUp 2017 
Yes, thatâs why Iâm also thinking itâs a bug.
But arenât the angles between guidelines from inside and outside of the group 45, 135, 45, 135? Meaning the guideline inferenced from outside of the nested guideline is 45 or 135 degrees âoffâ?
The issue occurs with any angle.
45 Is just an example. If you draw 4 guidelines, youâll have a âdiamondâ shape the angles = 360.
@TedVitale_SU This is likely an unintentional bug.
Hey! It looks like youâre wanting to create guidelines from existing guidelines in the same way that you can create a guideline from an edge. Is that accurate? I believe the current functionality is that guidelines are oriented to the world axis on creation, but Iâm seeing something different happening in a test version, so let me look into it. Thanks for posting about it!
I can only recreate the bug in 26.1.1 when the guideline is within a rotated group context.
If the rotated guideline is at the modelâs top-level, then there is no problem.
