Segment Scale?
« on: Today at 04:20:34 pm »
Hi,


im currently using a L1S to create some sequenced fencing, i have start, end & middle test segments sequenced & plugged into the default node with the generators default rule set to count (to accurately mimic my reference)

my issue is that one of my middle segments needs to retain its dimensions & not scale/stretch ...is this at all possible with my current set up?

Hi,

Thanks for the question. If you have RailClone 7, you might be better using the new Spline nodes to create this. You can use the divide evenly spline node to add multiple layers of evenly distributed elements. The easiest way to explain is to share a sample scene.

It should be pretty explanatary, but one thing to note is that the Divide Evenly nodes are each assigned a different Material ID. This is then targeted using the Selector node.

If you have any questions about this setup, please let me know.

All the best,
Paul

Hi Paul,

thanks for the info & scene- ill check out the new spline nodes

in the interim, please find attached my basic test scene, with reference object (black) which hopefully shows what im trying to achieve
