bill0287 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 How come sometimes when I want to create a five point patch, the interface won't allow it? Can you not have two five point patches touching each other? (sharing a commone spline segment). I got it to work...does the order that you select the points make a difference?

MMZ_TimeLord Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I have seen this before as well, but I'm not sure what the circumstances have to be to prevent you from making two 5 point patches that touch each other. Anyone have a clue why this happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh1ghool Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 This has happened to me. It turned out there was some sort of invalid spline on one and after deleting and re-creating them it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello bill0287, Click your 5 points, if the "make-five-point-patch"it is not highlighted already, hit the '.' (dot) key twice, if it is still not there, hit 'h' to hide the other points, then hit 'CTRL+a', if it is still not there, go to a different view angle and re-select points. Niels. ps. I click on the spline-direction near the CP I want to select, this 'should' give more luck attempting a good selection the first time. ps2. I still wait for a reaction from a hash-programmer to demystify the five-point-selection... Ergo how does the routine 'look' or 'wait', before accepting.... ps3. Two five-point-patches next to each other, won't work, and should not be used if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 19, 2006 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 19, 2006 Two five point patches next to each other is supported. Five point patches appear flatter when seen on edge than regular patches, so that would be a reason to avoid them, but they do work. 5point.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
