[ Fixed ] Draft_PathArray: Align Mode Frenet should ignore Vertical Vector

Post by Roy_043 »

I am trying to understand the alignment of elements in Draft_PathArrays.

The Frenet "Align Mode" should ignore the "Force Vertical" and the "Vertical Vector" property, but in a test with a non-planar wire it does not.

Test:
  1. Open the attached file.
  2. PathArray001 and PathArray002 are identical except for the "Force Vertical" and the "Vertical Vector" property.
  3. Side note: the alignment of the elements in PathArray001 seems strange to me...
  4. Select PathArray001 and PathArray002 and change the "Align Mode" from Original to Frenet.
  5. Recompute.
  6. Result: the alignment of elements in PathArray001 does not change, the alignment of elements in PathArray002 does, but there are clear differences between the two arrays.
  7. The conclusion therefore must be that "Force Vertical" and the "Vertical Vector" are not ignored if "Align Mode" is Frenet.

Related:
When a PathArrary is first created "Align" is "false" but "Force Vertical" and "Vertical Vector" are visible in the Property editor. If you toggle "Align" to "true" and then back to "false" they disappear.
