Jewels -Orient gems

Jewels.3dm (2.2 MB) Hi,

I am unable to orient the gem to the different line segments with gems normal to them. I find that the gems tilt when I use orient 2 points. I have grouped a line segment with the gem as the gem is a mesh in this case and I am orienting the group to the new positions.

Is there a way I can orient the gem to different positions in with the gems normal to the respective positions.

Hi Rahul - try setting Project on the Osnaps box before you start setting the points for Orient. Any luck?

HI,

I tried doing that but did not get the desired results.

Let me re-state the situation at hand:-

  1. Non_planar cuves

  2. One Object gem positioned to one line segment (reference line joining 2 ends of thenon-planar curve)

Objective: Transforming (orienting object to all other line segments)

Condition: Orientation to be normal to line segments .

Tried: 1. Orienting with 2 points but getting skewed gem-object positions

      2. Tried project command. Did not achieve desired results. Result: Gem object is positioned below the non-planar curve

Hi Rahul - Orient3d should help then. Is that more like it?
