Fixed size scale issue

(1/2) > >>

antmarch:

Hi guys,
I'm looking to make a simple brei solei type structure, with the panels at differing widths per spline section, using fixed size.  My original segment was 1.5m wide.  After aligning and rotating the segment, I typed in the necessary fixed width and whooah, it seems the scale is way off in Y.  X and Z look fine if I adjust them though? 

Wondering if it's because the pivot is at the X minimum, or the fact it's been rotated?  Either it doesn't seem right?

I've attached the file.

Paul Roberts:
Hi,

Does resetting the Xform for the source geometry help? It looks like you forgot to attach your file, if you can attach it I'll take a closer look.

Thanks!

Paul

antmarch:
Tend not to reset Xform that often as I work to grids it just messes up my pivots. Unless of course it's been through a lot.   Having just tested this though, I can confirm that resetting the Xform doesn't work.

can't attach this file for some reason, less than 3 mb, have you an email?
cheers

Paul Roberts:
Hi,

If you can email the scene to support@itoosoft.com, that'd be great.

Thanks!

Paul

Paul.

Missed your reply yesterday but have emailed you the file this morning.

On the subject of fixed size segments, can I ask you a question on how to approach the problem in the image below.

I've rotated a vertical post to become a raked spar on a roof atrium, to fit I adjusted the fixed size, but this seems locked to the world, or the RC co-ords.  Tried scale too, and the Y axis but same thing.  Is there any way in Railclone to adjust the segment value locally, or should I adjust the segment itself to fit.
