Macro/Sweep bend function. // Bugs 1  |   Order by default Post by b_scotty // Mar 5, 2006, 5:46pm b_scotty Total Posts: 176 I am having difficulty in making the bend function of the macro/sweep tool work. For example, following the Artist's Guide Tutorial Wrapping a Coil around a Torus, the coil remains pinched instead bending smoothly. I am using tS7.01 from the cd. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks! Post by Délé // Mar 5, 2006, 6:07pm Délé Total Posts: 1374 Did you select bend? If not, right click on the macro sweep tool and push the bend button that pops up before you finish the sweep. Edit: Oh, I just noticed that I didn't read your post right. Seemed to work for me but I didn't try the tutorial one. I'll give that a go and see if it works or not. Post by Délé // Mar 5, 2006, 6:38pm Délé Total Posts: 1374 Yeah, I can't get it to work right with the tutorial piece either. It bends fine with other paths, but not that one. Strange. :confused: Post by SteveBe // Mar 5, 2006, 8:16pm SteveBe Total Posts: 282 I tried it and bend wouldn't work for me as well. But if I used the coil that came in the path library it works. Here's a link to similar tutorial from Jan. 2003 newsletter, (no I never throw anything away).:p http://www.caligari.com/store/special/news_jan03/tricks_and_tips.html I didn,t try it but it seems a little more detailed and more for NURBS than polys.

Anyway, as usual there is more than one way to get the job done. :) Thanks for your help. :) Post by Norm // Mar 6, 2006, 2:18pm Norm Total Posts: 862 I must be missing something on this one. Is there a page/chapter number where the tutorial is located in manual? Please advise and thanks in adv. Post by SteveBe // Mar 6, 2006, 2:37pm SteveBe Total Posts: 282 Page 401 of Artist Guide.
