DESCRIPTION
I created a Sweep 2 surface using one Rhino curve and two arc as rails. I substitute the arcs with other two Rhino curves in the same place of the Grasshopper arcs. actual: The surface was build up in the opposite side (as if a mirror was applied). expected: That the red surface was in the same place as the arc construction red surface was. also If I move the points of the curves (rails) the surface is not following in the correct way the shape of the curve.
SOLUTION
I need to rotate the rhino curves.
Dear David Rutten, if is not a known bug and you need STEPS and better bug report let me know.
DESCRIPTION
I created a Sweep 2 surface using one Rhino curve and two arc as rails. I substitute the arcs with other two Rhino curves in the same place of the Grasshopper arcs. The surface was build up in the opposite side (as if a mirror was applied). That the red surface was in the same place as the arc construction red surface was. also If I move the points of the curves (rails) the surface is not following in the correct way the shape of the curve.
EXPECTED
That the red surface was in the same place as the arc construction red surface was.
That the surface is build-up following the build curve direction
ACTUAL
The surface was build up in the opposite side (as if a mirror was applied).
I need to rotate the rhino curves.
If I move the points of the curves (rails) the surface is not.
Because I do not know if there is a limited of enclosed links that usually is 3 or 5 Sweep2 Bug.3dm (33.9 KB) Sweep2Bug.gh (5.0 KB)
I remember reporting this bug and I presume is a UV curve direction setup
Yes, I can imagine is a curve direction problem.
Rotating the curve works fins
And Probably flipping the curve too?
It feels like a UI bug or less intuitive for beginners.
If I build the curve in the correct direction for prototyping, I’m expecting that Sweep2 is smart to understand that. EDIT: I was not creating the curve in the correct direction
Ok, Thanks, I get that. Grashopper2 UI: And if a message pops up or in documentation to the user to alert to invert the curve direction when the surface is not draw attached to the curve?
What your asking for is literally like when someone is putting a drillbit in a drill, then the drill would beep and say: if you want a hole, make me drill clockwise.
For my part I appreciate what I can achieve in Rhino and I really don’t think every little thing can be made idiot proof.
Martin, Turns out that you were correct. I apology for this bug report. I was convince that I was making the curve correctly, starting the curve correctly, and building it with the correct direction. Turns out I was having a difficult time when I was doing this (1yr old walking over my desk) and my double-check fail. Apology for your time and thanks.
Trying to improve this side, because often reuse old curves Or pick up often old projects.
I was thinking and probably you have a much better idea:
It can be handy if there is a sort of direction visual feedback indicator for the curve. Stat-end indicators when visualizing the curve. I mean real-time to avoid double-cheek testing.
