Issues with modeling in 3d - height stretch - AC27

Hey all, 

 

Having issues with using the 'stretch height' command in 3D. It seems to jam up the program, the only way to fix the issue is click off along the top bar of the window and then back into the working space. 

 

Seems to be happing across the board with this command in 3d - not just isolated to cabinets. 

the X marks where i need to click to get it back. This is the same across a team of 8.

Having the click on the AC window header would imply that when you are selecting the Height Stretch option, something is causing the AC window to cease to be the active window. If you are on Windows, you can confirm this was the header text will fade out. On macOS, I believe the window buttons at the top right change.

Could you boot in Safe Mode then start a new AC project with no addons loaded?

Hello @tomyg,

 

I am having the exact same issue on my desktop, but it works perfectly fine on my laptop, so I am suspecting it has something to do with the hardware/drivers. Since it is happening in 3D, maybe something is worng with the GPU or its driver?

 

@Lingwisyer, That is not the case, the window is still active, it just freezes.

 

Have you been able to resolve this? What was the solution?

 

Thanks!

I am facing the same issue and yes, clicking anywhere "outside" is the only way to terminate the jam.

On the contrary, I am facing the same issue on my laptop. It's a Lenovo Legion Pro 5, with GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.

Same issue here.

 

Apparently it is already logged as a bug: DEF-16609

I am having the same issues.  It happens on both my laptops. It doesn't happen in V26. I am interested when an update comes out if they are working on it already.

I'm also experiencing this issue, and clicking on the window top bar doesn't seem to work.

Is there an update on this bug?
