Title: Roof tile macro not working as expected
Post by: Jens Andersen on July 20, 2017, 01:13:03 PM

Hi

I putting the new roof tile macro to good use on a current client project. Most surfaces (clipping area splines) have gone smoothly so far. But now I have encountered this result:

Had the same problem earlier and managed to fix it, but now I have forgotten what exactly I did  ::)

Tried a bunch of stuff. Scene file attached if any one could be so kind to take a quick look at it :)

Hi,

Thanks for the file. It seems RailClone is having a few issues parsing that spline, probably because it is quite complex. The solution appears to be to change the spline numbering. Just pick a vertex in the large boundary spline, right-click and choose Make First to change the order. I found that picking on in the notch on the left of the roof worked well.

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

Cheers,

Paul

Paul to the rescue yet again  :)

Thank you very much for the speedy reply. And yes I only found it working well with two of the corner vertices.
