hatrick Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Is there a different method to get my normals pointing outwards a simple circle, build in the example below.(Line, Extrude, Creep etc.) thx copyline_orientation.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi, There are two ways to do this. a. If the circle is at the origin, you can put down a Point SOP, Add Normals & set the Parameters to $TX, $TY, $TZ. b. If the circle is not at the origin, you can scale down the circle slightly using, for example, a Primitive SOP, put down a Point SOP, connect the original circle to the first input & the scaled down one to the second input of the Point SOP. Again, turn on Add Normals & set the Parameters to $TX - $TX2, $TY - $TY2, $TZ - $TZ2. I've attached an example hip file.
