Having problems with some segments.

(1/2) > >>

Asplan Viak:
I am having some issues with an awning model I'm trying to create.
Specifically, the "planks" in the ceiling underneath. There should be a set of 3 planks with a custom hole for a lamp, set after each other for the evenly slot (set to 300cm).
I can not for the life of me get these 3 planks to behave. They do not align up with the lamps either like they should.

Please see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11737977/RC-Awning.max to check it out for your selves.

What am I doing wrong?

iToo:
By default, set always Segment's X Aligment to "Automatic". That should solve the problem in this case.

Depending if used as Default, Corner or others, RailClone expects that the pivot of each piece is X aligned at a certain position. Since it's not easy to know the best option in each case, the best choice is "Automatic". Instead, Y and Z alignments are not critical, so set them as you like.

Asplan Viak:
Setting all the planks alignment to X -> Automatic did not work, but did change the way it distributes it.
Can you post a scene file where you a certain it works?

iToo:
Please, try the following changes in your scene:

1) Set all X Alignments to Automatic.
2) For the Lamps generator, set Corner->Bevel mode to "Extend", so it matches with the Planks generator (if not, the evenly positions may be different).

I attach a screenshot of the resulting geometry. It looks right, but if there is some fault in, please tell me.

Asplan Viak:
Ok, its better, but the next plank after the composed 3 planks is sliced for some reason. You can even see it in your screenshot. Why is the nest "default" plank not placed correctly, and why is there no hole & lamp right before the corner. There should be one according to the evenly number.
