| Summary | 0000924: placement vs displacement | ||||
| Description | Shouldn' "Placement" be renamed to "Displacement"? When choosing to edit an object in Freecad, in the Data tab, in the Placement section, all the coordinates, of all objects, are 0 0 0, although the objects "stand" in different places. Changing these numbers will move an object relatively to it's original position (0 0 0). Therefore these numbers must indicate the "displacement" of the object (in relation to its' original position). If i've got it right... | ||||

I think the placement concept is correct... If you move your object which is at (0,0,0) to (2,0,0), then move again to (4,0,0), the final position is (4,0,0), not (6,0,0). The Placement indicates the exact position and rotation of the object, not its distance relative to another point. Unless you consider the origin as a relative point, but that would be you against the world... I'll close this bug report, since it seems to me there is no change required here, feel free to reopen if you think otherwise. |
