Align faces face to face using touch does not snap faces together on iPad

[grandmaofdragonz]

Using the C keyboard shortcut works to snap faces together, but using the Align Faces button with touch on iPad makes them line up flush but does NOT make them snap together. I fear I could be missing some nuance here but so far I don’t see any way to make it work. Edited to add: specifically, using the Align Faces button with the Face to Face option does not snap the faces together, but simply puts them flush.

Also thanks for the amazing work you’re doing here!

@grandmaofdragonz thank you, and I'm glad you like it. Align faces turns the part until the two faces are parallel and then slides it only towards the other face, so it keeps its place sideways. With Face to face the faces should end up touching, and with Flush they lie in one plane side by side. It does not carry the part over to the other face; that is what C does, it follows the pointer and sets the part down where you click. Could you tell me which of the two you see: a gap between the faces after Align faces, or the faces touching but not over each other? Then I can look at the right thing on the iPad.

The recording shows one instance. When I watch the recording, there’s no visual indication that I touched the second object, but I did touch it, and then the message “set down on a face” does appear, which I assume means it did perceive me as touching it. And then when I hit the back up arrow, the first object moves to touch the second, also suggesting it did recognize that I had touched the second object.

It feels like there is some super-sensitivity about how the program perceives each touch I make, in interpreting exactly what surface I am touching and how long I press. So sometimes things work beautifully as expected and sometimes not at all. A certain decisiveness in touching the second object seems to help, but I can’t make it work consistently enough to really describe what I’m doing.

@grandmaofdragonz thank you, the recording showed exactly what goes wrong. The long press also started moving the body under your finger, and on the iPad that move was never finished, because your finger lifted on the menu. The tap that set the body down then finished that old move and put the body back where it was, as a step of its own. That's why Undo showed it in the right place. It wasn't you or how you tap. I fixed it, and it comes with the next release: the body then lands on the face you tap, every time.

@grandmaofdragonz the fix is out in layerling 1.96.0. After a long press, "Set down on a face" now lands the body on the face you tap every time, without putting it back. Reload the page once if the iPad still shows the old version.

All I can say is WOW.
Well, and also, I’m heading over to set up monthly support. This is amazing.

@grandmaofdragonz thank you so much, both for the kind words and for sponsoring layerling – I saw it come in this morning. It means a lot, and it goes straight into the next improvements. Thank you also for testing so carefully on the iPad and for the recording; that is what made the fix possible so quickly.
