Lattice Mod, Rotate Segments?

[Morne]

Hi all

Is there way, perhaps maxscript, or another modifier that I can put on top of the stack, that will let me rotate the segments of the Lattice Modifier? (by default it comes in at 45 degrees)

I dont believe so. can you not inset the polygons, delete those faces and use shell?

[Morne]

We're automating the creation of various similar components of different sizes from just using referenced splines. Will have to find another way I geuss

[Neilg]

if it's from a spline why cant you use sweep?
if it's from an object can you create a macro?

run this, change inset amount to whatever you need. add shell modifier afterwards.
macros.run "Modifier Stack" "Convert_to_Poly"subobjectLevel = 4
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40021"
$.EditablePoly.SetSelection #Face #{1..999999}
$.insetType = 1
$.insetAmount = 3.19618
$.EditablePoly.buttonOp #Inset
actionMan.executeAction 0 "40020" -- Edit: Delete Objects
$.EditablePoly.delete #Face

Didn't think of macro, thanks will give it a shot
