Hi,
I’m having an issue with the CreateDiff Mesh function in 4R4. Following these steps:
1)Store MT
2)Offset(/inflate etc.) the mesh
3)Click CreateDiff Mesh
I get broken geometry on the newly generated parts of the mesh (the original plane’s geo is intact):
(*this is the same subtool with a snapshot on the canvas so you can see front and back)
This happens coming from a default Plane3D converted to a polymesh (as in this case), as well as from a default Cylinder3D converted to a polymesh with the end caps deleted. The severity of the problem seems to vary (sometimes I get no geo at all; everything looks right, but there’s no polyframe for the new parts except the outline).
If, however, I subdivide the mesh to level 3+ before going through the CreateDiff procedure, the problem seems to disappear and everything is normal.
I don’t think this happened before 4R4; never had any problems before. I wonder if something has changed that I don’t know about, or if this is a real problem? Can anyone reproduce it?
(*Note, I realise there are other ways of adding thickness to a mesh; CreateDiff is my preferred method, but I know I can work around it if necessary.)
My specs are:
Intel Core i7 @ 1.73GHz, with 8GB RAM, running Windows 7 x64
And plz find the requisite “just before” screenshot attached:
