Background image problem

[Mr Mike]

I usually don't use an offset with the BG image but I had to last night and then noticed that when you change the zoom amount the image moves relative to the data, which obviously it shouldn't.

Confirmed, I'll look into this.

Fixed in latest SVN. I'll upload a new snapshot in a few minutes:

Another prob: if you resize the iso view, the image moves (and/or resizes) relative to the data as well. This is in the latest.

Which settings for the background image are you using? I have to know because every setting is working differently.

[SneaksieDave]

Everything locked (three checks at bottom). It's easy to see, just assign an image, draw a brush somewhere specific, and then d-click the iso port titlebar; the image is not locked to the size of the grid, so when the window resizes, the image resizes and (and possibly shifts) with it, although the grid does not.

 

Since we're on this, I might as well suggest there be an editable value box for scale and the offsets. Right now, the highest precision with those sliders I can get is .1 for scale and 0.205 with the offsets. If a user is needing to place them in a precise manner, they can't really do it right now - if they position the grid to the image, which is more precise, the moment they lock panning, it snaps back to depending on the sliders (or even 0,0) again for the position.

I'm not sure whether the background image can be precisely locked to a certain grid position (it's always centered in the orthoview, and resizing the window expands/shrinks the grid span asymmetrically), but I can take a look at that.

 

Please open an item for this and the second issue on the bugtracker.

Okay, they're up.

I'm at work and very sleepy so I'm not sure I fully understand but... using the sliders accurately can be tricky but you can use the arrow keys to move them in 1 unit increments. Does that help?

Yep, indeed it does. I'll update the entry.
