Create a parquet floor
Paul Roberts:
Hi,
It's not currently a part of the RC3 library, but with the new system we can update them at any time without needing to wait for a new plugin release.
Cheers,

Hey guys
I have a serious problem here, which I can´t solve. I hope for your help.
As you see on the screenshots I have problem with the orientation of the segment objects.
I tried to break down the error and have finally used your "Flooring2011End" file from the tutorial to use almost every setting you did.
The problem apears, when I use my own objects (simple Boxes with edit poly modifier). Your plank objects work fine.
There is also a very strange behavior, when I just pick the new planks and apply it into your segment: Error "No Geometry" as you can see in the screenshot or scene file.
Then, when taking a new segment and appling the planks to it, the pattern appears, but is still not in the correct alignment as it should be.
By the way, your presets work fine, but this is not a solution for me, as I want to use railclone for complex stuff later on.
Im working with 3ds Max 2016 / Vray 3.5 / Railclone 2.75 Pro
I hope you can help me out of this. Cheers
Matthias

Hi,
That's due to used object local axis orientation (attaching screen-shots). Because of the way, how this particular style is build, it requires to have the its "local axis" aligned with 3ds max's "world axis". As mentioned in the "9 - Create your first 2d array" part of our Getting Started with RailClone guide: "Rule 3: Align the source geometry's pivots to the X and Y axes - The 2d array is created along the X and Y axes of the RailClone object's local coordinate system, and segment's will be oriented to that their own axes align with this. It's very tempting, especially with vertical styles like façades and cladding, to align geometry incorrectly so that the vertical elements are on the Z axis."
Hope that helps
