Ahh OK thanks Solo

Good job on the video!

Thanks pbacot. I looked into trying to make the walls and floors of the modules into solid groups in order to use the outer shell tool. But I couldn't make them solid. I assumed it was because I had gluey cutting windows and doors nested into the walls. Does that sound right?

By the way, for all the punters... I ended up using Fetchapp. It works quite well. Apparently hosting a downloadable sellable SU model on your own site is a complicated HTML coding exercise, so I didn't go down that path. Even more baffling is trying to set up the unfathomable Paypal Digital Downloads account. (Paypal need to lift their game with the user-interface of their products. For a company of that size,.. what they give you to work with is just woeful)

Anyway Fetchapp, different story, very easy to use. They host your model for $5 a month. No other fees. You can easily create a standard Paypal Button that links your Paypal account to your website. FetchApp provide the HTML code, you copy and past it into your website program (I used Muse). I'll let you know if it works if I ever sell anything 😄

Hi mal,

Your model is well organized. However, if you want the sub-components to keep their size when scaling then you need to add size constraints. The size constraints are built-in attributes named LenX, LenY and LenZ. You can assign a size using a constant number, or from another attribute. Examples might look like these:

LenX: =0 LenY: =AnotherAttribute LenZ: =Parent!SomeAttribute

Trogluddite!

What a champ! Thats amazing what you've done. Thanks so much. The TileGrid plugin works perfectly, and the instructions you gave to install it are idiot-proof! Just what I need 😄

Thanks also to sdmitch, thom thom and tig for the tips they gave you. 👍 Trog I think you're ready to join the Axis of Awesome!

Thanks to you too Box. Your input on this was very much appreciated.

Cheers

Mal

Hi Gai,

Thanks for the advice. I used your curviloft method from the link and it works really well! I made a solid group with a contoured top in 5 minutes... after a few failed attempts ofcourse. When the penny drops its quite simple.

Cheers

I found these windows on Youtube that seem to work ok 😄

...Ive updated the scenes, and the active section planes, and the styles of each scene. I saved the file before exporting, but still no cigar. Any tips??

These would be the steps I would also suggest. So best would be to share that file if possible so we can have a look.
