Is 2 Direction Clipping Possible for a Linear Generator?

[Kraiggc@dsccol.com]

I've created a Linear Generator that randomly places 4 metal panel profiles along my wall path. However, I can't figure out how to create clipping areas for more than one direction. Is it even possible? I've seen how it's possible to do in the Array 2s Generator, but I can't figure out how to create what I've made using the Array generator. So any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm afraid not. The L1S generator can only be clipped along one of the X,Y, or Z axes. To clip on multiple axes it is necessary to split the model into different parts.

I hope that makes sense

It does, however I cannot split up the faces due to the randomizer. Unfortunate

Another solution might be to use the V-Ray Clipping object in mesh mode to create the holes in the mesh. This would allow you to create the entire facade with RC, then add the apertures after. The Clipper object is parametric and rendertime too, so it plays well with RailClone.

Best,
Paul

Corona Has the slicer material, which may be my current solution. I was trying to keep the whole thing as single element, but not sure that's possible. At least not until I can learn how to use this Array generator.
