Sphere prob...

Double Espresso · 25 Nov 2008, 00:31

Hey,
I need to make a series of different size domes and spheres.
The way I have done this in the past is... I draw a circle, move the circle tool until it turns red/green, hold shift to set inference, draw second circle, use follow me.
The first sphere works fine, however, the second time I try it, the circle tool will not turn red or green.
Suggestions?
Thx.

double coffee dude, attached is a dome and a sphere, it's higher poly than a regular dome and sphere as it's got more faces thus smoother.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Solo,
I was actually wondering why after I draw my first sphere... I can't get the circle tool to go red or green when I try to make another sphere?

not sure why you cant get it to infer red/green, but if you move the tool up towards the sky it should turn red/green.

Alternatively you could draw a small cube and use that to get the inference.

In the Newbie Dept I have just posted this little video (not very good quality - you know of YouTube - but you know what's happening there, I guess)

Are you saying that after making one sphere you cannot get the green inference that I get there?

Yes, that's my prob. I know how to make a sphere, however, in SU7 I can only get the red/green inference the first time. When I try to make another different size sphere the circle tool will not turn red. Not sure why this is happening, it works fine in SU6.
Thx.

Okay... so this is cracked.
Reloaded SU7 and it works fine now! I'm blaming it on Bryce who is trying to mess with Sang.

Thx.
