Hi!
I remeber i saw a post/tutorial for Railclone Pro where the x-evenly elements are set by each vertex on the spline path...but i can't find it anymore.
Does anyone know how to set the X evenly vertex based with a Array2S Object ? The Linear1S wouldn't do it because of the need to change the height.
Thanks in advance :)

P.S.
I tried to searching the help docs but the all the pages stay blank ( win 10 + firefox + ie ):

So, found a solution where i use a inner corner element as my window-segments - see Screenshots.
The Tiling works fine on a straight spline-path. But if got an real 90° Corner in the path-spline it's looking wierd. Is there a way to use a specific "Real-Corner"-Element?
Thanks in advance:)

Hi,
For example the XVertexAngle attribute will help with it - you can check the angle by the following expression:
return if(XVertexAngle == degToRad(90), 1, 2);
within the Arithmetic Operato (https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/style-editor/operators#Operators-Arithmetic)r linked to the Selector Operator (https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/style-editor/operators#Operators-Selector). Attaching a sample scene.
Hope you'll find it useful.
Best regards,

Thanks a lot for your example! :-)
But if i do it like this, the expression copied from your file always seems to "use" the second item of the selector. There's also a expression in use within the "items" .. see the screenshot -> the default segment node is empty to check if it's working.
Maybe it's because the whole Array2S -> Geometry -> X Rotation = 90 ?

Update:
This problem occures with my RC-Object when the Path isn't a closed Spline - any ideas how to fix this? The path needs to be a open L-shaped Spline

Hi,
It should work both on open / closed splines. Might be, the angle isn't 90º, but it's just very close? Another option might be to use two Conditional Operators (https://docs.itoosoft.com/railclone/style-editor/operators#Operators-Conditional) testing the Angle like in attached screen-shots. Also, please feel free to send us (http://forum.itoosoft.com/index.php?topic=3648.0) your scene to check it here. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Thank you! I've tried it with the conditional but a don't get it right :-/
Sent you a file, if you'd like to check
Thanks a lot!

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the provided scene. Enabling the Bevel Corner option under Rules > X Corner and setting the RC Offset to 50% seems to do the trick.
Best regadrs,

Thank you so much!! I can not repeat it often enough: best technical support i've ever seen!!
But there is one thing i've noticed:
On the former "wierd" Corner: On the Top-Element is an offset/padding occuring which i can't figure out where it's coming from. And the Bottom-Element seems to be dissapeared?
