Corner Problem why is this happening ?
« on: July 11, 2024, 02:40:41 pm »
I used the simplest form to build a building, the top corner which does not match the default corner, in the photo the "bad corner" is the correct element that I want to use, it has the same pivot as the "good corner" but every time I connect it it moves by an unspecified amount and I don't know why even though the pivots are exactly identical and does the geometry match everything else? how to fix it and why is this happening? Is there another way to make the corners fit?

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. This is a tricky issue to solve, it's caused by the fact that the two segments are different depths. In order to ensure that the corners are beveled correctly, different slices distances are used by the corner algorithm. You can override this by using a compose operator with the corner segment in the 1st and 3rd input and a null segment in the second. The null segment, falling perfectly in the middle, will be used to center the composed geometry on the corner. This will ensure that the corners align, but it will also mean that gaps might appear at the corners because we have overriden the automatic algorithm. To fix it, add a Fixed X Size to the Null segment, and then increase the generator's Rules > X Corner > BC Offset value until the gap is closed.

Please see the attached file for a possible solution.

Many thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul, I would never have thought of that :)
