RC slice pivot problem
« on: January 26, 2024, 08:56:45 AM »
Hi, for some reason the Alignment at Start and End is ignored when set on Pivot. :-( I have a simple railing with Alignment Y entered on Pivot. Default segment works, Start and End unfortunately not. Is the error with me?
Thx

Hi,

I've done some quick tests with the RC Slice modifier, but so far, I haven't been able to reproduce the mentioned problem here. Could you please send us the problematic scene? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hi, I'm sending a simplified scene. Maxver 2022.

I found that if the Pivot is in the original position, everything works. However, if I manually move the pivot, it stops working.

Thank you very much for providing the scene. It will need to be thoroughly investigated by our main developers, and hopefully, a solution will be found soon. In the meantime, applying the Reset XForm in the stack just below the RC Slice modifier helps.

Yes, or the extraction of the slice itself. But it all lacks the beauty of RC Slice when the whole history is preserved. Even with ResetXform, the history is a little bit broken :-(

It has already been fixed, and RailClone 6.1.6 was published a while ago, which includes the patch. I hope that helps.

Best regards,
