Roof Macro - rotation
« on: October 16, 2024, 04:36:02 pm »
Hello
Crap !
Beginner's question
I'm using Roof Macro and I can't see how to rotate the slates?
(See attachment)

Thank you

Hi,

The 'Roof Tiles' macro uses the 'X → XY' Auto Align mode. However, if you switch to the 'to Spline' mode, the X-axis will align with the first spline segment. You can then adjust the alignment by using the 'Make First' vertex option or by reversing the spline as needed.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Ricousto

Thank you for your reply.

That's what I thought, and I've tried, but unsuccessful.
The slates line up, but not the way I want them to.
(sorry, this is an old version of max!)

It appears to be correct - the issue lies with the size of the tiles used. Scaling them down, for instance, by adjusting the Global Scale under Style > Geometry, allows these tiles to be placed in the way you want.

ok thank you !
I thought I could vertically translate the slates but It's ok with the global scale.
