Title: Add multiple segments
Post by: Macker on March 21, 2015, 05:05:20 PM

Hey guys, i'm trying to create a style to fill lots of shelves with books - and I have some 250 books to add. This is going to be one hell of an arduous task to create a segment and select each one manually. Is there a way to automate this?

Hi,

The current beta supports the ability to add multiple node. To do this just follow these steps:

• Create a new Segment Object ( (http://docs.itoosoft.com/download/attachments/15696316/rc_a2s_add_segment.png?version=1&modificationDate=1425470111296&api=v2) )by dragging from the Items List to the Construction View. Enter the general, deform, or transform settings required for all segments before going any further. This node will be used as the the template for other segments added using this technique.
• Right Click on the new Segment and select Clone Multiple.

• A Select Objects window opens. Pick the objects in the scene you wish to add to the RailClone style and click Clone, RailClone will generate a new Segment node for each of the selected items

I hope that helps.

Many thanks,
