How do I align my siding?
-
Hi Bobby,
As mentioned in this closely related post (https://forum.itoosoft.com/railclone-pro-(*)/tiles-alignment-new-topic/msg38708/#msg38708):
"If you need precise placement, it's better not to use the "Extend X/Y Size to Area" option. Instead, you can manually position it where you need and then apply the clipping operation separately. To do so:
- Enter a value in 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 so tiles are positioned where you would like them.
- Select the clipping spline from the scene to update the clipping operation."
I hope that helps.
Best regards,

I am not sure what you mean. Where are the properties? The only place that seems to work is here (see attached). When I adjust the Z, which would make sense, the siding moves in the wrong direction (out). I have been using Railclone siding for years, and I don't recall this being an issue.

I don't know of a way to place the siding first and then pick a spline. Can you post a screen record?

When using a macro, you should "open" the Cladding macro (right-click > Macro > Edit) and disable the Array 2S > General > Clipping Area > Extend X/Y Size to Area feature. Then adjust X & Y Size values and move the origin of the RC object where needed. I hope that helps.
Best regards,

Got it, thanks!
