Could you upload a dwg file that display that message here to the forum for us to look at?

Looks at the words "start" and "end". When you have camera oriented the way you do, which is good, you want the starts to be on the left and the ends to be on the right.

That is why the top one is good and the bottom one is weird. At one point, you used to be able to actually reverse the bending direction and it worked correctly. Somewhere along the way though I accidentally broke that I guess, so now you just end up with screenshot #2.

That really is beautiful Allan! Thanks for sharing it.

Kris's TIG-y sense was tingling?

It sure looks like a plugin you've recently installed has overwritten the Point3d#offset method.

You're gonna have to figure out what plugins you've installed most recently and uninstall them. Or uninstall them little by little to figure out which it is I think.

I'm a total newb when it comes to all this authentication stuff. So to me it looks like you've signed into the 3dwarehouse using your verizon email account, and that credits window is trying to get the user name from your email account, but since its not a gmail account, its not finding a useful username.

Is this a model you could share? or email to me directly? Thanks,

Chris

You might also try to sign in, or check how you are signed in. Down at the bottom left there is a "G" icon I think. Make sure you are logged in on the account you want to be logged in with. Look into that, see if it helps? Also, what country are you in?

Nope, shouldn't miss ski season. The event is one week before the mountain closes. BUT, it only closes due to government agreements on the lease on the mountain. Other resorts nearby stay open into May. There really should still be good snow there.

I'm excited! I missed the last Basecamp, I won't miss this one though!

Do you have a typical pool model, and a series of the tile images you could upload here? It might not be too much work to get extrapolate colors to work for very very very basic uv mapping, as long as it is 4 cornered face mapping onto another 4 cornered face, for example.

The first image was given to me as a reference of what the client was looking for (or maybe it was just what we wanted to present the client?). But either way, I was given that image as a reference to try to match approximately.

Anatole, I'd be interested in testing your model to see at what point it drops into wireframe. Any chance you could share it with me via email or something? I can PM you my email address if that would be possible, thanks!

Chris

Cool, thanks TIG.

Yup, we were fine thanks. No flooding at all over here. I've got quite a few friends up in Lyons. I had a chance to go up there and help dig some homes out of the mud - what a mess! Its going to take some serious work to get that town up and running again.

You're in Hygiene? That's just up the road from me. I'm at Clover Basin, west of airport. I drive through there all the time. How did you fare in the flood?

Do you run any plugins? Any renderers? Could you upload the model with issues here (or somewhere) for us to look at? Thanks,

Chris

Inside your own tool, you use the .resume and .suspend methods. suspend will tell you if the user has started using orbit or pan, and resume will tell you when you are back into your tool.

Hi Nicmask, I've also had this problem. I don't remember if trashing my plist helped or not. I think in the end, I had to uninstall and reinstall SU.

No, the new version was just to make it compliant with the extension warehouse. I might have thrown in one or two code changes to speed things up, but typically its not the kind of speed change you'd notice unless you were doing a LOT of stringing.

Yup, its going to align the blue axis of your component to the edges of the curve. So you need to edit your component (double click to enter inside the component) and then rotate the geometry so that it aligns with the blue axis, in the manner that you want to string it.

Post the model here if you still need help aligning it.
