Hi Hopefully this is solvable.
I've spotted an older post (2016 I think) that addresses the issue of animating a spline while using a clipping area.
So instead of animating the spline dimensions, I did as suggested & created a dummy, added an xform mod to the spline & picked the dummy as the control object.
Set a few keyframes scaling X & Y all works. But as soon as I rotate the dummy on the (z) axis and scrub the scaled keyframes again the clipping area no longer updates to the new sizes.
The border object you can see in the preview is a linear 1S generator that IS updating with each scaled key.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you're facing these troubles. Might be, that’s just a “preview issue” and it renders just fine? If possible, please feel free to send us (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) your scene to check it here. Ideally, if you'll be able to reproduce it on a minimal scene, which you can send us, it would be great. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Thanks for the response.
It’s definitely not just the preview as I’d had that thought myself.
Unfortunately I’m unable to get to the pc for a few weeks now.
When I return I’ll mock up a simple version in a new scene & attach.

Hi Michal
I've simplified the segments & attached the problematic setup.

Thanks for the provided scene. I've done some tests with it, using RC 6.1.3, but I can't reproduce any troubles here with your scene (it previews & renders just fine). It looks like, you’re using RC 5.2.8, therefore let me point out, that’s most probably something already fixed in recent versions - generally, we recommend using the latest version released. Please feel free to check the Release Notes (https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/release-notes), where you can find all new features, improvements, and bugs fixed since you've acquired it).
I hope that helps.
Best regards,

Thanks Michal
