beams get displaced in x&y axis when copied in z axis

[freecadnewbee]

As mentioned above beams get displaced in x&y axis when copied in z axis. Is dis a bug ? If now what is the fix?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

You didn't attach a file and the image is not very clear, so here is my guess: you have attached the beam to something and now the movement is along the z-axis of the local coordinate system which is relative to the attachment.

Hi and thank you for accepting dis post. Sorry didn't explain the problem properly. I am simply wanting to copy beams from one floor to another. Everytime to copy from level 1 to level 2 all beams get displaced. This is example file and not able to attach video file sorry Happens every time unless compound is used to combine all beams. This problem happens even if I try to move some beams in x or y axis. They don't stick to snap points but jump. No one else facing dis issue?

I can reproduce with these steps:

1. Create a copy of a beam with copy-paste.
2. Select the new beam and its profile and move them in the Z-direction with Draft_Move.
3. Result: the new beam is also moved in the XY plane.

The key factor is that the profile of the new beam is also moved.

If you want a copy of the beam that references the same profile as the original (which may be preferable), you should select the original beam (making sure not to include the profile) and use Draft_Move with the Copy option checked.

If you want the copy to have its own profile you can use copy-paste, but when you move the new beam you must again make sure not to select its profile.

Thx for your answer. I dunno what u mean by profiles. I am making beams with the beam tool and it doesn't make profile. Base is also empty. I tried the same thing with real thunder branch and it is less buggy. But beams still get displaced. Even when copied in x or y axis in both main and rt. Jus querious, hw do ppl make beams in freecad? Drawing each and every beam takes time, hw do ppl copy beams ? Beams definitely not behaving like column and wall when copied and booleaned. When beams are subtracted from walls they get displaced inside cut too.

Post your file please.

File attached here. If you copy full structure from file in z axis new beams are displaced. I am in windows 10

I can reproduce with V0.19. But not with V0.20. So it would seem that the issue has meanwhile been fixed. Suggest you upgrade. The official V0.20 release should be soon. But if you can't wait you can download a dev version:

Thx so much. This has indeed been solved in 0.20 version.
