Re: Draft WB Path Array Align problem (0.18 14495)

I see, the path sketch should not within any Body.

Now no more red lines in dependency path, the the bodies are not follow along the path correctly.

Re: Draft WB Path Array Align problem (0.18 14495)

Thanks for helping on align the pieces.

Draft WB Path Array Align problem (0.18 14495)

I cannot make the pieces align the path, if I change Align to true, an exclamation mark shows on PathArray.

How to make the align work properly?

Re: Export to STEP problem

It is not so convenient to make clone if I need to modify the body. It should have some issue with the STEP export. If I adjust the Crown body sketch distance from 1mm to 4mm toward X axis, the export STEP will not load in Rhino correctly. One interesting thing is that I can load the problematic STE...

Re: Export to STEP problem

I have opened both step files in FreeCAD and they have different positions. Perhaps it is a Rhino problem? Both Crown.step and Crown001.step are export from the STEP test.FCStd, I export the body one by one. Then import both step file in Rhino, the Crown.step imported correctly but Crown001.step di...

Re: Export to STEP problem

From what origin: the document's? Your FCStd file shows the Crown body's placement to be at (0, 0, 0). Do you expect us to play with its placement then export to STEP? EDIT: I opened "exportproblem.FCStd", then I imported "exportproblem.step" in the same document. The new shape ...

Re: Export to STEP problem

The origin means the Body origin, sorry for misleading. I create a new FC document and made two identical bodies, Crown001 is copy and paste from Crown. only the distance between the body and the body origin is different. I export both bodies to STEP file, Crown and Crown001, then import to Rhino. C...

Export to STEP problem

I have a simple model, the result is not good. I have two bodies, the MainBody is body like watch case, I simplified it as a sketch for crown distance, which is 19mm. I create the crown in another body, then I export to STEP. In Rhino 6 I import the STEP but it looks wrong. If I model the crown from...
