Title: quick basic railing question
Post by: pixelplume on October 25, 2024, 05:41:53 pm

I have a basic railing made. If i copy a spline and then reverse the spline, the geometry breaks apart.

Hi,

Thanks for the question. The issue would appear to be related to RailClone calculating each of the two splines Up vector differently. It uses the shape and order of the vertices to determine the alignment of the array and reversing the direction appears to be causing the calculation to be calculated differently for each spline. We'll look into this and see how it can be improved. In the meantime, I recommend using Materials IDs instead of reversing the spline. You can see a sample style that uses this approach attached below.

I hope that helps,

Paul
