Title: Rotation is not preserved when using groups as segments in RailClone 5
Post by: Karax on January 05, 2022, 11:38:49 PM

Hi!

I am trying out the new features in RailClone 5 and I have a problem when using groups as segments. As shown in the attached screenshot, I have a couple of cubes grouped together to the left. To the right I have created a RailClone object which uses the group as its segment. The problem is that the rotation of the individual cubes is not preserved in the RC object. Is there a way to fix this?

It is all about the pivots.
Check the pivots on individual boxes. Use Utilities>ResetXform>Reset Select
I`m not sure, but maybe you should ungroup>reset>group again

Current implementation for groups support only translation, not rotation or scale. We'll improve it for next updates.
As Dragan pointed out, the workaround is Ungroup->Reset XForm->Group again.

Thanks a lot for the replies!
Great that you are planning to update this in upcoming versions! Until then I will use Dragan's method.
