Grid not interactive after scaling

[michaelRRI]

I have noticed a new behavior with the latest release that may be a bug.

When doing object work, I align photos, make mesh etc. and then set scale by dropping a couple markers and using a scale bar to update. Then I orient my model (using rotate object and move object) to be straight, upright and centered to the local coordinate space.

The bug I have found is that after rotating the model, the grid no longer updates properly when panning around the scene with middle mouse button and the navigation arrow selected. It seems to stay locked to the center of view only. I did some export and import tests and it doesn't seem to be moving the model coordinates but this is different behavior to the previous version/s. Is this a bug or a feature?

I am having the same issue as well in version 2.2.1 build 20578.

When using the "Navigation" tool:
- rotating works as usual (left-click, hold)
- panning moves the object as if you were using the "Move Object" tool (middle-mouse, hold)
- re-anchoring the navigation pivot moves the object rather than the camera (double-click on object)

Observations:
- happens under these conditions: project file is from older version (my case 2.2.0) and the active chunk has a scale bar from that older version.
- happens to models that are imported from another DCC (Zbrush and Blender in my case) with no scale bars or markers
- does not happen even if project file is from older version (my case 2.2.0) but the active chunk has no scale bar from that older version. Bug does not occur  even if a new scale bar is made (using 2.2.1 build 20578)
- does not happen if project file is made with the latest build (2.2.1 build 20578)

Conclusion:
It appears that having a scale bar that was made from a previous version breaks the functionality of the navigation tool when opening the project up in this newer version. All help is appreciated in fixing this bug. Thank you.

Thanks echocharlie. Just to note, it did happen to me on a project made with the current version so not sure it is totally related to a legacy project issue.

Thank you for reporting!

We have managed to reproduce the problem, when all three transformations (Rotate/Move/Scale object) are applied to previously unreferenced model. Will try to fix in the next update.

Hello all,

Please update Metashape 2.2.1 to the latest build 20641:

The behavior of the grid should be back to the expected one.

Can confirm it is fixed for me. Thanks Alexey.
