Title: 2s array starting over
Post by: grue on February 11, 2025, 12:03:54 am

hello.  i have a 2s array that i'm working with (see spline shapes in attached image).  the red is a sequence (from left to right) of wide panel, skinny panel, medium wide panel.  i'd like the yellow to be the same panels in the same order, but it appears that the wide panel starts over on the right most yellow spline.  so therefor they don't line up vertically.

is there a way for the yellow (which is two splines in the same shape ie, they are attached together) to continue the pattern of the red without restarting?

thanks,

Hi,

I assume you're using the Extend X/Y Size to Area feature in your style setup. Instead, try disabling it and applying the clipping operation separately - this should do the trick.

• Set values for Properties > Geometry > X Size and Y Size to create an array large enough to cover the area.
• Move the RC object over the clipping spline to position the panels as needed.
• Select the clipping spline from the scene to update the clipping operation.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

so here's what i was doing.  the panel joint lines needed to be above and below the window openings (except for the two in the middle which were a bit taller).  you can  see the white highlighted exclude area.  from the bottom up, the 2s array panels are 9ft, 3ft, 9ft, 10ft.

i've also attached a screen shot of the Railclone object for the "front" then cloned it and did a second RC object for the right side.

these arrays are based on a line i drew across the bottom, then vertical.  it almost seems like i'm doing something extra that i don't need to, but then i think i do need it because each array is a different panel size (well i could probably attach the two 9ft tall panels.

something forme to play around with later. thanks again for your  help!
