Short description of error
When using Proptional Editing while setting 3D Cursor as pivot point, the radius takes 3D Cursor as the visual center, not the active element, which is kind of misleading.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
No example file needed. I think this more on displaying rather than the functioning? Thanks for checking.
This is a bit odd but working as intended. the proportional edit center just happens to use the pivot point.
closing.
@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton), are you sure? Shouldn't the circle be drawn around the active vertex as it affects the verts around this? For me this looks completely wrong, not just odd :/
@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton), I don't quite understand "the proportional edit center just happens to use the pivot point." In fact, the operating center is still on active element, not using the pivot point. Please correct me if I didn't follow you well.
@Julian Eisel (Severin), the active vertex here is not special - you could have many randomly selected vertices and in this case it would have to calculate some median center.
Currently - the manipulator and PET - draw at the pivot.
Said differently - there is no attempt for the PET circle to follow the selection - it uses the pivot.
Wanted to submit a bug but found this task and a similar one from 2013. Both closed as irrelevant. To me it looked exactly like a UX bug in 2.8 beta: the circle appears not where it’s affecting the mech, see the video.
It makes more sense when 2 distant dots are selected or if we apply rotation, not grabbing. I know it’s not content-aware, but maybe you’ll find a way for this feature not to look like a bug.
@William Reynish (billreynish) is there anything to do here? I'm not sure what a better solution would be.
