Cplane orientation picker

Hi Andrei, are you talking about the 3D view rotation? When that is set to the option of "Rotate around world z axis", that is normal that it does not rotate around the construction plane's z-axis. That view rotation option is meant to keep your head pointing in the upwards world direction. It would be kind of weird to make it rotate around the construction plane z axis because there will probably be some amount of "tilt" in how you are currently viewing the cplane. So either the tilt would have to be zeroed out, making for a shift in the view when you set the cplane, or there would be a kind of left/right tilt that would stay fixed as you did the rotation. Either one is kind of strange.

If you want the view to rotate without regard to the world z axis direction, you can do that by setting the option under View > Rotate/Pan/Zoom options > Rotation style = "Free Rotation".
