MrHoo Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi folks, I face a challenge to setup my underlying curves to skin my in the correct way. The biggest issue I have is to sort all the points in the correct order - I think to do this via a helper curve should do the trick, but I can't find the solution So any help would be appreciated!!! The end result should look like a stadium roof... Thanks so much! Cheers Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 my plan: 01) use groupexpression>preset select 1st pt of prim. This should be all outside most of each of your curves/prims 02) polypath above pts to turn into a closed curve, the point order may be random as your pic shows.. 03) edgetransport on curve above, getting distance attribute 04) attribtransfer the distance attrib from above to the individual curves, may need to promote this attrib from pt to prim 05) sort prims, ie. the individual curve based on distance attrib attached is an illustration that the pt order of a loop is screwed up...and then it's resorted vu_reorderpts.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
