Hi Corzair, it looks like a bug for this particular situation where you have the rails touching at a point and the rails also stick out past the shape on the other end.

I should be able to fix this up, but in the meantime if you add an additional profile snapped on to the ends of the rails it should then work.

I'm struggling to get my finger out. (see attachment)

It's made of two rails and a two profiles. It fails to sweep.

I've just come to assume that if something fails then it's probably because I'm asking too much of MoI, and not that it's a bug.

Hi Wibble - looks to me like a bug, can you please post the model file?

Looks like it may be related to the bug from earlier in this thread.

- Michael

Okay, you asked for it. I'm going to give you the finger.



Still, I suppose it could've been worse; I could've been trying to sweep my willy. :O

LOL I guess I prefer the finger! :)

I see the sweep will work if using either one of the profiles, but not using both...

Yeah, the bug is that sweeps with more than one profile don't work, if the rails are sticking out past the profile instead of ending directly at the profile. Almost got a fix...

- Michael

Ok, both of these (Corzair's hull sweep and Wibble's finger) are fixed for the next beta release.

The bug involved multiple profiles when the rails were sticking out past the profile instead of ending directly at the profile.

Corzair, this bug is probably why you were running into general problems trying to sweep with more than one profile before.

Thanks both of you for posting the sample files, those make it a lot easier to track down what is happening.

- Michael

This is great, thanks Micheal

the sweep is really good now for making some great hull type forms excellent ;-)
