Hello Community, I am having an issue with Decals. Specifically, I am trying to add a screen image to the default Tablet model. But after adding the decal to the screen, I can scale it, but I cannot reposition it. Any idea what I am missing here?

Thanks Ares! I'll start there. Let me know if you figure out why the screen layer prevents mobing the decal.

Here is the reason and workaround. Glass Object is located in front of Screen and blocked access to screen pixels  for selecting decal, but we are able to use rotate and scale handles.

Workaround

1. Hide Glass object before moving image

 

Also if we have only Glass and Screen objects we can add distances between them. Then after changing angel for camera (see middle tablet object) we can access to image and move it.

If I convert the sphere to a basic model and then place a decal I am able to move it around as I would expect.

By @rossbb

then the issue is the way the model was made i.e, not to standard and part of the convert is to fix Uv map errors

Another really interesting observation: when I look at the logs for the tablet file, they show the decal being re-positioned, event though it is not moving on the screen at all.

 

I would be more concerned with the "file has changed" errors, but I believe that is simply a by-product of the image being on google drive. Also, I used the same image on the basic sphere, where it behaved correctly.

 

Here is a portion of the log:

Aha! Thank you, I had the same issue with a model of a frame (with glass) on a pole model. Once I shut off the glass, I was able to adjust the position of my decal on the inner poster part.

did you generate a Uv for the entire model or just the part you need to add decals to... 'screen'?

 

also Adobe does not allow Dn files to be uploaded because they don't trust them... yes we know how dum that is but the bubble in charge of forums and libraries doesn't talk to the bubble in charge of Dimension

 

if you right click the Dn file and zip it then Adobe cloud will allow it for shares or you can use one of the 3rd party options around like drop box... the file would be very helpful and save a lot of time guessing

If you place image on Glass (layer) you will be able to move it. Not possible to move it on Screen (layer) (can't catch a reason) but I am able to resize only, Need investigation
