Title: Replace Segment at Marker
Post by: EI3056 on February 02, 2023, 07:25:47 AM

Hey everyone,

I would like to use markers to "replace" a segment instead of inserting it exactly at the marker postion.
Is this possible?

To clarify I have attached a screenshot. I would like to add a cube at a specific location instead of a sphere. Adding them at the marker will squisch and stretch the other spheres (red box).
I would like the box to "replace" the  sphere closest to the marker to keep all object uniform.
If its easier to setup replacing always the next segment instead of the closest would also work for me.

Thanks for you help.

Hi,

Thanks for the question. At present this isn't possible using a single marker - though it's something we'll see if we can improve. You can do it with two markers, one to change the spheres to a cube, and another to change them back again to a Sphere. Please see the attached file for an example of how you can set this up.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers!

Paul

Thanks Paul!
Might be a nice-to-have feature for the upcoming RC version ;)
