      Hello Mike, you sound as if SU's frustrating you! if so it shouldn't be that way.
      I roughly modeled a hawker Hurricane this morning using only the Weld plugin and TIG's Extrude Edges by Rails, none of the above problems your having. Have you tried the Bezier Plugins as they may help.

      If you could explain your workflow it maybe something simple to solve.
      John

        SU frustrates me a fair bit but essentially it is a few elements that are consistently up my nose. Moving points of origin/insertion, where no matter how accurate you are, the start or end point move. Stuff seems to change size from one opening of a model to another, drives me proper crackers. I will put up a few examples tuesday or wednesday, a bit late now mate.

          The latest problem turns out to be ghost related. Not sure why but copies of a component were in the same location and making it impossible to correct errors. Bleeping spooks.


          Minus the ghosts.

            A demo of a ghost. The right hand side of this 2d export shows some roof and glazed panels. None of which were created by me. No idea why they turn up but does anybody?

            Just one of the spanners thrown into the works.


            Bleep bleep ghosts.

              Appears to happen when items are grouped.

                These things don't spontaneously appear, you are creating them somehow.
                It's difficult to say how without watching you work.
                Do you use paste in place and do it without noticing
                Do you hit ctrl and move then not move
                Do you select geometry and make it a component but not replace it
                Is it loose geometry or a group or a component
                Is it the stuff left over after you have made a component

                If this happens to you a lot it could explain your difficulties with accuracy, and my guess is there is something odd that you are doing that is creating.

                  I create a group, move the group, there is another group where the original was. No other geometry creation, no funny magic stuff and I am not saying this to create a problem for anyone. All I have done is report what is happening. You can choose to believe me or not, up to you.

                    Do you hit ctrl when you move the group because that creates a copy at the original position.

                      Not touching control or any other button, weird huh? Must have a carzy install? Perhaps another reinstall will help but I doubt it. I will give it a try just in case there is some physical memory tie up with another program.

                        I get this from time to time. No idea what causes it, I just restart SU and they disappear.

                          I have strange things happen as well. Not very often, but it is annoying when it does happen.

                          I just restart the program as well.
