A Question about FredoScale
-
Hello,
I have been using FredoScale to bend rear posts and also backslats in models I am making of Ladderback chairs. The first time I used he plugin, I had no issues. Since then, every time I use the program to bend the slats I get a line down the middle. This is probably because I draw the slat completely (not half of the slat) and bend each side to the bend I need.When I try to go in and delete the line in the component, I delete more of the component than I want to. It is not to big of a deal, but it bugs me! I have uploaded the file so you all can look at it. I also have lines in the posts where there is a change in diameter. Can these be erased as well? Note: Some of the lines are intentionally put on as scribe lines to mark the stretcher placement. I am drawing from original chairs and want them to be as accurate as possible. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide! Any other comments on how to make the sketches better would be greatly appreciated!Thanks again,
John Mark Power

Have you the file in V6 or V7 ( I have not V8 in these computer)

Good to post your model as you have done. It helps to also post a pic as this might save many steps to getting your issue resolved.

you can't erase them without deleting the faces as well.. soften/smooth them though..
either with the eraser tool + option (ctrl on windows) or using the soften smooth dialog (right-click on the component the choose soften/smooth edges.. adjust the slider to angle tolerance (though in this case, you'll probably just click on the slider or toggle one of the checkboxes and the line will soften)
edit-- this goes for both the line on the face of the slat and the lines on the legs

Thank you Jeff! This completely solved the problem. I am going to revisit the radial bending video on You tube to see if there is something I have forgotten, but in the meantime, This works beautifully! In addition, it doesn't mean redrawing components. I am particularly amazed that It left the scribe lines I put in intentionally. This is a wonderful program,isn't it? thanks again.
P.S. I have attached a photo of the chair without the lines this time!
