Walter Zesk replied to Andrew Heumann's discussion Dynamic Data Tree Path Mapping?

"I agree, a responsive path mapper would be fantastic. It does look like the 0.9* update reduces the extra branches so less need to be simplifying structures down. I try to use the replace branches wherever possible...here are three common examples…"

Problem with transformation combination component with 0 degree rotations

I have found a problem when combining transformations and I way wondering if anyone has seen this or has any suggestions. I am unfolding lots of different folded parts. I am triangulating the parts and extracting a list of rotational tranformations for each triangular face. The lists are then combined and each face and the entire part unfolds flat. I have found though, when the parts are orthagonal and the rotational tranformations are 0 degrees (two adjacent faces that are already coplanar)…See More

compound transform input order is reversed?

Has anyone been using the compound transform component? I have found that when I combine two transformations with the component, I need to reverse the order to duplicate performing the transformations sequentially. Attached is an example. Not a problem, just wondering if anyone knows why this is.See More
