Dear Rhino / VA Community, @fsalla I think I found a bug, a short look into the search-bar did show not me anything similiar. when I intersect a VA-Beam with a normal extrusion, I get the intersection but the VA-BEAM gets converted into a Block VA_BEAM_to_BLOCK_BUG.3dm (4.7 MB) Best regards, s…

EDIT: found the second issue reported here as well: Visualarq objects missing in blocks hmm found another bug, or maybe it has something to do with the plugin Block_Edit_New, but I think this worked before perfectly fine.. When I have a group and use VaBeam from curves, when I “close” the group th…

The bug in the second video might be related to the coordinate system of the ARQ object itself. Here’s a more straightforward example: when you use boxmapping, the influence of the boxmapping isn’t calculated based on the relative position between the box and the object, but rather on the relative p…

[image] Sebastian Wimmer: When I have a group and use VaBeam from curves, when I “close” the group the Beams disappear. @Sebastian_Wimmer how are you making these menus appear on top of the group? are you using a third-party plug-in to edit groups? I suspect the issue reported here might have…

Hello @fsalla , sorry due to an injury I had to step back for a while. Yes this happens with a plugin, (as stated “Block_Edit_New: Block Edit New | Food4Rhino - you should def. try it) Sadly I do not know what happens internally, maybe some sort of ID problems. I have to admit, I really don’t wa…

The new version of the “Block_Edit_New” plugin has fixed this issue.You could try it.

@slodka @fsalla thank you for your response, we are getting closer it seems. @slodka you are partially right - it works now with groups which is a great thing! but it still struggles heavy with blocks as you can see here in the next two small clips: DESCRIPTION: I made two VA profiles, grouped the…

I think the remaining issues should be related to Rhino or ARQ itself. The new version of BlockEditNew is compatible with Rhino’s built-in BlockEdit, so any further block-related problems are likely more underlying ones. However, you can also send your questions to the plugin’s author—they are happy…

@Sebastian_Wimmer I could reproduce both issues you report here when using the BlockEdit plugin. If you use the native Block Editor in Rhino, these problems don’t happen. We need to investigate if this is something that needs a fix from our side, or from the BlockEdit plugin developers.

Hello @fsalla , thats great news that you are taking a look - thank you very much!

We are already in touch with the BlockEdit plug-in developer. I hope we can help finding a solution to make both tools fully compatible.
