@akredd, how did you align the object before adding the projection group?

Hi, to all helped here.
That was it. My next question was solved before i can ask :lol: I got a problem with a section that was not properly shown. The same thing, a "-" in Section Normal. But i didn't get any idea how that "-" come in the Data. I'm shure i didn't change that... In the Future i will have a glance on that.
Thanks to all and regards

I position the part with shortkey 3 (right view). I don't know yet if i create the page before or after that. Than i create the projection group.

That works here out of the box. So it's probably a rounding issue depending on the hardware (my version is only slightly older than yours).
