Hi James,
I have downloaded your remap nod file but getting this error ( ReferenceError: Can't find variable: magnitude)
So not sure if I have all the latest additions to extensions. (I have added the one's posted by Karsten)
Any Idea's what I'm missing.
Barry

Hi Barry,

I just reviewed the reMapNode.nod file :
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7777.1114

and there is no recent extension nodes that you might be missing. Though, I have only tried it with MoiV4, perhaps it has backward compatibility issues.

I'm sorry that I cannot more helpful
James

Hello Barry,

please check if basicfunctions. js is missing in extensions/libs.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten/James,
correct the basicfunctions.js was missing from my node editor version in Moi V4
All's working well again.
Many thanks.
Barry

Hi Friends ,
a Torciglione whose execution
it is entrusted to the Macro Helix, and to the subsequent adaptation
to a reference curve-
As usual, the file at this link:

Ocean's waves! :)

Any relation with GEB ?

Hi Pilou!

...what is it "GEB"?

Hi Pilou,

Yes actually I was referencing Douglas Hofstadter's intriguing book.

>>>GEB

G: Kurt Gödel -> destroys the hope of closed axiomatic mathematics - Cantor and Hilbert were crying:-(
E: M.C. Escher is not a DJ
B: Johann Sebastian Bach would Need a DJ

LOL :)

Hi All,
need a bit of basic advice.
I want to create a nod to divide a curve and apply a twist for the given sections.
This will give a variable pitch helix but a constant pitch radially.
Not sure if I need to create the sections individually or if I can produce the curve
then divide (trim) it into sections but then how do I index thro the sections.
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry and Friends
this is my last reflection about
the exact execution of a Globoid Worm Gear ...
1- first of all we must start from the gear wheel we want
be moved
2- we draw the wheel with the Max Plug, asking for output
also the Pitch Circle
3- we extract the profiles of the teeth and reposition them in a manner
fair to the outside, considering them as teeth
of the rotating helical shaft
4- We create an arc of circle that has as referents the centers of the various
sections of the teeth of the shaft
5- We create a Sweept that has the teeth as profiles and as rail
the spiral formed with reference to the circle arc
6- join the section of the Shaft at Swwept

Work completed

Hi Alberto,
thanks for posting your nod file but I think the sweep is not giving the correct result.
I projected a line onto the worm to get a cross section and found the tooth profile on the left not correct.
Perhaps a 2 rail sweep would correct it ?
Many thanks
Barry

Hi Barry and Friends
I saw your post in response yesterday , I double-checked and actually
the profiles positioned on the rail did not maintain the angular relationship
(usually, using Catia, I have this default option
for the Rib ... tool in Ambient Part Design)
but Moi is another thing ...,
so, I changed the method, I increased the profiles positioned
along the rail, positioning them consistently in the four axes ...
I think the result is satisfying ...
I tried to do a little animation too

Hi Alberto,
looks good thanks. I'm still experimenting with the nodeeditor and with it having no tutorials struggling
to understand how some of the nodes work. I have developed a spreadsheet to generate the points of the globiod helix curves for the cam slot as FDP http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8986.1 I I would like to do it with the nodeeditor but don't know how to input the calcs into a list could do with a very basic example.
Cheers
Barry

Hi All,
I imported a point file with Michael's script and got the result in red using the thro points option.
I imported the same file in the nodeeditor plugged it into the curve node and got the black result.
There are a lot of settings in the csv file node that I don't understand, do I need to adjust them to
match the red curve?
Cheers
Barry
