With RailClone 3, it'd be a lot of work. In a future version of RailClone we are adding a few new features that should make that sort of thing easier.

Thanks!

If I check "extend x/y to area" the projection option is greyed out. As understand it, I need to have four separate RailClone objects in order to have parametric windows on all sides of a building. Is there a smarter way to setup the windows to go all the way around the a building? thanks!

Hi!

Actually in recent versions of RailClone it is not necessary to create a different RC object for each side of the building. RailClone can rotate each window to match the spline. If a window faces in rather that out. reverse the spline to fix it.

The settings to enable this mode are as follows:



Hope that helps,

Hi,

before I write a more thorough answer to address your questions I wonder if you can upload your file so far so I can take a closer look at what's going on. If you'd prefer not to post it publicly please feel free to send it to support@itoosoft.com.

I'll write a more detailed response soon and double check the script too.

Thanks!

Paul

I have tried continue and see what happends after while... i see there is another problem at 9:22 min ... I put there your expression

if(YSplinePosition = 0,3,
if(YSplinePosition = 1,1,2))

and it shows me

Parse error. Expected ')' or ',' in argument list at line 1:
if(YSplinePosition = 0,3,
                      ^

it seems that you used old version and through period you updated your software and it doesnt work any more this tutorial because you changed it so much... But is ok i will try use your example file and use that script that works at least.

Since the tutorial we updated RailClone a lot.

Expression editor functions has been expanded. And that required some changes how they are written.

Test expression "-1*(Input/4)" in v2 should be written in v3 and v4 like this:
return -1*(Input/4);
Basically all expressions should have "return" in start of "expression" and You should end them with ";"

Also in latest RC You need to use double equal "==" to make comparison.
example:
return if(XSplineMatID==12 | XSplineMatID==112 | XSplineMatID==45 ,1,2);


More examples can be found here.

Hello,

I followed exactly the steps in the tutorial. Everything is functional in the parameterising window only de x evenly is not doing what it has to supposed to do.

And where can i find the script "Railclone Slicer"?

Hello

I followed the “Parametric window tutorial” But ended up with the following problem: the x and y evenly are lower then the rest of the window object?? Attached a jpg and max file.

Hope somebody can help!

it is all about Your segment pivots.
Set align their Y to the same plane.
