Noobini Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 before I submit an RFE, could someone tell me if I'm missing something really obvious so I don't make a tool of myself.... Attached is a sample scene, a semicircle is revolved, you can see the normals aren't updated by the Revolve....I can't find anything in the Revolve...yes, it can be done in other ways like simply Copy Transform then Skin....but 'modelling' logically, you'd want to apply a Revolve and have the normals correctly updated by the Revolve op, surely that's not too much to ask........so....am I missing something ?

Dam Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi, If you want to use the revolve It's possible compute the normals after and turning off the polyframe. the revolve creates new primitives/points and vertex from scratch that doesn't have Normal informations so the revolve copy the normal computed on the initial circle to the new faces, that's why they are different from the copySop method. Hope it helps! Cheers, Dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I told you logically it should be in the Revolve...no point telling me to do it outside of Revolve... Copy Transform 'just works'....Revolve should do the same as far as I'm concerned, it's trivial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'm sure Revolve is one of those old modelling tools that could be rewritten. It's good practice that when you have [I can't believe Houdini doesn't do XYZ] to just send in an Rfe unless you want a work around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Sorry dude, I went too in deep on the why side, I know a checkbox there for update or copy normals with correct faces orientation wouldn't bad.. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
