Title: railclone to Instance geo ?
Post by: SGAndrew on July 26, 2024, 03:51:46 pm

Hello!
I'm making a stadium with accurate seat placements, and I use a seat proxy mesh as a scatter object on splines. later I want to add planes with seat numbers on them and I need to have the railclone scattered geometry to be extracted as separate instance objects.
How do I make each seat as instance after I did the scatter? 

Thank you!

Hi,

for that purpose you can use RailClone Tools. You can read more about it in on docs here: https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/railclone-tools

I hope that helps,

Paul

It worked for only some models,(see attached) the ones that I scaled up are instances the other are individual non instance editable meshes.
And these were the settings I used.

This is likely because the chairs are being deformed to follow the spline and so are no longer instances. To Fix this, please turn off Bend and Slice in the Segment Node's settings. That should fix it.

Cheers,

Paul
