For a while today, I could not get ArrayGem to work. Maybe something to do with the ArrayGem spacing.
Then after practicing with a curve on a cylinder, with spacing, ArrayGem worked again.
So then with SpherePoints, I learned that doing Flip on the base circle, caused the radial direction of the cones to reverse,
with respect to the sphere.
So maybe ArrayGem spacing matters? And radial length of the lines?
Also the normal of the base circle matters.

- Brian

Flip of the radial lines puts the focus on the center of the sphere.

Hi Pilou, yeah I guess you have somehow created your base circle for ArrayGem in some way such that its default plane normal is going downwards instead of upwards.

So select it and go to a side view of the circle and use the rotation grip on the edit frame to rotate it by 180 degrees, that should then get it oriented how you need it in relation to the base object.

- Michael

I checked your file. Аll the same. I think that the easiest solution - turn the base circle.


>>What did you made at 0.012 ? Lines becomes points dashed
:)
code:
script:/* wireframe v1.0 */ var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; var so=gd.getSelectedObjects(); if (so.length>0) { so.setProperty( 'displayMode',1); so.setProperty( 'selected', 0); } else { gd.getObjects().setProperty( 'displayMode',0); }

This is another my script. I use it very often.
It switches selected objects to wireframe mode. If no objects is selected - it switches all hidden objects back.

P.S. I think I should make a website to share ALL my scripts with community :)

Ok ! That was the orientation of the base for an half parts for mysterious reason! :=)




<<< P.S. I think I should make a website to share ALL my scripts with community :)

Sure! That will very cool !

And your video shows that your computer is maybe 500 faster that mine for th cones! :)

You have also on your video a List Menu with some Plugins clickable!
How do you make this list ?

Have you a plugin for make this list ?
Or Maybe Michael has some views on this for next releases ?

Yes, this addon generates external scripts list on the fly. It's a part of my CustomUI system.
This system consist of loader script and addons, which you can enable and disable as you want.
I'll release it this week (right after MoI Scatter tools ;)
