Hi guys
is there a command that develops the surface of a tire to make the flow command faster?

I also tried the unwrap curve script but it doesn't work

Hi Tony,

re:

There isn't any special command for a tire but you can use some of the Transform > Array tools for making a repeating pattern of object copies.

Was there any error message displayed? Did you select a curve first before running it?

Hi Tony, that error means that the script file was not found and it's attempting to run the text as directly script code itself.

There should be a file UnwrapCurve.js that you need to copy into a commands folder so that MoI can find it.

Are you running on Windows or Mac?

EDIT: Looks like you've got it figured out. For MoI v4 you can also copy it into the appdata commands folder, if you do that then new installs of MoI will find it there and you won't have to copy it into the program folder on each new release.
