Y offset behavior

[harumscarum]

Y offset need to be applied before others such as fillet, start/end offsets and segments in order to avoid corner issues

Yes, we are aware of this issue. Unfortunately it has not a simple solution, because Fillet must be applied before interpolating the spline (curves are converted to a sequence of straight lines), instead Y Offset is applied just after.

i see. and here is one more question from another thread - http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=2396.0
when different spline IDs are used - Y offset cannot be applied correctly. it need to offset spline first and then use it IDs. in example below everything is fine with the corners when all spline have same ID. if i try to use different IDs corners go wrong because offset calculates separately for each segment.

since Y offset is extremely useful for parametric windows and glass walls would be great add support for spline IDS in order to put different amount of panels or window types to each segment. hope it is possible. thank you

PS - scene is attached (spline IDs on/off is switched by EditSpline modifier)

Ok, that has sense. I've done a quick test and it seems that can be done, although we must check carefully that this change doesn't affect to other features. Added to the to-do list.

Hey,
I know this is a pretty old thread, but has this been added to Railclone?

You can make it work if You use one generator and selector node instead of 3 generators.

Nice, thanks!

could you add the max file with the expression

i struggle to implement the correct tiling for the windows

count 2 for spline mat id 2, count 3 for mat id 3

thanks in advance
