Weird Goings on

[Wildsided]

Hey guys, I don't know if this is a bug and worth reporting, but just recently I've noticed objects aren't staying where I tell them to be. Let me explain, I've been building a throne room and I want a row of pillars running down the centre of the room. I've positioned a pillar and then to make sure the next one lines up I go into the properties, get the x co-ordinate and enter into the next pillar. I repeat this for say the next 5 pillars with just the z co-ordinate changed.

 

So here's the weird thing. Say I set all the pillars to x=90 all along the row. If I then click on say pillar 2 its x co-ordinate may have shifted to say 89.89 or 90.12, just a random shift to the left or right for no apparent reason. Does anyone know why this is? I mean its not a big deal to the naked eye it's still in line but if I set something to a specific number I expect it to stay put.

Is this something you are assembling in the chor?

[Wildsided]

It is indeed Mr. Robcat sir

[robcat2075]

Are you using cm for units?

[Wildsided]

Also yes. I have a feeling you know exactly what's going on here

no, now I'm out of ideas.

 

Typically it's something like using feet and inches for units that is a problem.

 

Are you setting each item individually or all together?

[Wildsided]

Individually. Like I said though it's not a big issue for me, I mean when I put a ruler next to the edge it still looks like a straight line. I usually just eye ball things anyway but for those guys who like to be 110% exact it might be an issue.

And, of course, there are no other keys for the objects, they aren't animating from one spot to another.

 

If I saw it I'd know more.

Your keyframe-graph-view looks okay? No bias changed and no interpolation that could cause it?

 

Any constraints / Newton Physics, etc. that could result in something like that?

 

See you

Quick update on this guys. It seems to be the act of clicking on the object that causes the shift. If i go through each instance of the model in the project workspace and set the positions that way then everything stays still. But if I click on the objects directly then they shift a little. Maybe I just have jittery hands and have never noticed until now.
