Hey Houdniks,

This happend the other night when updated a obj file.

Basically the origin gnomon is offset or tilted. The object is aligned to it, but the Grid isnt.

Here is a nice pic of it.

What did i do wrong.

Upload the file.

How does it look if you have a default File SOP?

Here is the file.

It was offset by a File Sop somehow, think scale has something to do with it. But then I created a new scene, and it still stays like this untill I close the program and start back up.

this is the new scene, that has nothing in it, and it still offsets the gnomon when loaded.

Try renaming your $HOME/houdini9.1 directory and see if you can repro.

Cheers,

J.C.

didnt work.

but ive got the feeling that my enviroment variables on windows is messed up. So i checked it, and ive only got HOUDINI_MMB_PAN .

I think im missing some other ones. But i dont know which. Could anyone fill me in?


cheers

is it possible your construction plane has the offset?

i thought that, but then i couldnt find any controls to offset the construction grid :p.

Plus renaming the HOME directory would reset all preference changes right?

also, as a side question what are the normal set of enviroment variables, i have the feeling ive deleted some. Ive only got the HOUDINI_MMB_PAN one, shouldnt i have a few more, like HOUDINI_PATH etc?


thanks again guys.

btw i think the problem to this is when i import a file of a particular scale.

If you start a brand new Houdini session, does the problem show up?

nope. And when you open that file, and make a new scene, its still the same way.

Only way to clear it, is to close Houdini and open it backup.

I think the construction plane settings might be saved with the .hip file.

yeah but how do you reset them .

There you go boys and girls.



Still dont know what threw it off in the first place, also if the origin gnomon is small, switch to a left or any other ortho view and switch back to perspective and it should be reset also.

Case closed

edit/ not quite, for some reason it gets locked to an object that has rotation so it gets knocked out of wack again, so you need to keep reseting the grid. So for now ive turned it off, but this has to be a bug of some kind, i cant find a way of unlocking the grid to the object. Thanks for the help everyone.

Did you resave your .hip file after resetting it?

yeah, still happens though if you rotate at object level and jump into sops.
