Re: Objects on surface

awesome!
At the moment, placements do not stick (are not parametric, i.e do not follow the surface if the surface changes), but maybe i will add an option for that too.... eventually ;)

Re: Comb-Pattern in PartDesign

ah, easy! the circle in SM Compound Filter Sketch does not touch the rod, so it is filtered out. CompoundFilter does not fill the contours itself, use Part MakeFace to do that.

Here's your file fixed:

Nope, not yet, but it isn't hard... maybe i can make it a reality in a day or two.

I don't know what's up, please post a project. The error says what it says, nothing that came through your filter, all shapes were filtered away.

Re: Objects on surface

Do you know if it is possible to put a plane on the surface and perpendicular to the surface? Why do you have to manually move the paper plane and rotate it so that it is under surface and perpendicular to it? Attached Placement, you'll need a vertex do define where. Also, if you have a lot of vert...

Re: Comb-Pattern in PartDesign

something like this: hexagrid patch example.FCStd Tricks used: * linear array can be made to extend both ways with Alignment property set to Mirrored * linear array's step can be bound to edge length by changing DrivenProperty property to Step * to make compoundfilter include only fully-inside shape...

Re: Comb-Pattern in PartDesign

sorry guys, i have not looked into your files, but the general approach to that should be different. Make a skewed 2d grid array to eventually create a big patch of comb pattern, and then filter it (either arrayfilter or compoundfilter) to leave only the stuff you need. This probably has to be done ...
