RCM Bugs
I posted this on the Rhino forum also.
After I show the mapping widget, I can’t hide it. I de-select the geometry, change views, etc. If I close and re-open the file it’s gone.
Also, the mapping widget used to have handles that I could drag. Are they gone?
Thanks,
Craig

Craig,
I answered you on Rhino forum.But if your 0 or default layer is off or frozen,you won’t be able to do anything with the widget.Select or hide won’t work.
I don’t know if it is a bug,but it is annoying for sure .

And since I don’t have a 0 or default layer…
Thanks, I’ll try that.

… hide or enable object layer hide the object, but not the mapping widget, if it is set at visible befor.
Re: RCM Bugs
As mentioned in other threads, the box mapping gives crap results, the ‘edges’ of the box show as wide lines with a distorted texture. I really hope this gets attention, because it is a very important mapping type.
Re: RCM Bugs
I’ll compile a list of complaints to Andy - is it just the box mapping that gives the most trouble?
Re: RCM Bugs
… cylindrical mapping too (most if I rotate the widget). I sended you an email with subject “Geometric artefacts bug” at march 9.
Re: RCM Bugs
Ok - I’ll pass this along to Andy
Re: RCM Bugs
Other issues to pass along to Andy
-Being able to press Tab to move from field to field (I can’t tell you how much this gets on my nerves
-Being able to access the Safe Frame parameters via the command line with the windows suppressed (The safeframe option is there when I go to document properties, but I can’t get into any of its controls. My real desire is to have a shortcut that will toggle on and off the safeframes.)
Re: RCM Bugs
while we are at it:
when setting the sun manually each time you want to modify,the settings are reset,it should keep the settings.
Re: RCM Bugs
Did you use the Rhio sun command? Or did you use the modify button at the sun directional light options?
Re: RCM Bugs
Andy, the McNeel mapping-man, requested some simple scenes demonstrating your mapping issues. Would you guys mind sending them to my email? I’ll forward them along for you. Thanks guys
Re: RCM Bugs
When you use modify from our VRaySunLight object properties page it just runs some RDK thing (essentially the same as the SunLight command but without asking for a position again ). I could ask that he allow us to set some of the variables - but I believe he just reads whatever was used last as far as the location / time, etc.
Or maybe I’m misunderstanding what the issue was?
Re: RDK Bugs
I was more talking about the position.
1)set the sunlight manually
2)click ok
3)modify it via the object light properties,you have to select manually again,and this is where the problem is,the graphic representation doesn’t show the position where it is,if I only want to tweak it a little bit,I have to remember the previous azimut and altitude,it should represent the orientation of the sun as it is.
Is it clear ? Kind of hard to explain…

Re: RDK Bugs
Did you mean, you can not change the geographic position of a previous placed sun?
Re: RDK Bugs
Yes - I believe I understand. You want the dialog to be populated with the information from the light you are editing. At this time its not possible through the RDK to send any information to that dialog - we only get information back from it. I’ll see what Andy has to say about that.
Re: RDK Bugs
Yes I can Micha,but the graphics that allow us to choose the position manually,does not stick between modify session,the sun itself is positioned correctly.
May be there is something I am not doing correctly.
For example if I set the sun with the location and hour,and I go back to modify the location or the time of day,what I see is the position where I was,from there I can tweak.That is what I want for manual setting,having the graphic representation of the position remember the state it is.

Re: RDK Bugs
Ah, I see it here too. It’s not possible to modify a previous manual set position.
