zacktaich Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I need a bit of help: I'm working on a head and I need to delete half to do a copy flip attach but each time I try the app drops to desktop. this happens in both the latest alpha and in v10.5. I need to delete these points to do a copy/flip/attach. Any ideas? I've been trying for 2 days. I've attached the .prj file. the points labeled "delete" are the ones I don't want. -Project file removed- (Will post pictures later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalbotski Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Zack, When I opened the project it wanted the porcelain material. I have found that you can't paste into a model with porcelain applied. Delete the shortcut to porcelain from the model and then try to copy-flip-attach. If A:M quits when you try to delete the shortcut, drag the shortcut up to the materials folder instead, and then do the copy-flip-attach.

zacktaich Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 still does it, the problem is the delete, not the copy flip attach. maybe there's a way to go into the project file itself and just delete the cps. I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC. Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Ive had this problem myself onceor twice. I copied the whole model into another empty model window and saved it. Close and reopen the project and u should be able to just use the newly copied model for the copy/flip/attach. SeanC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleavens Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Zack, Try doing it (the delete) in wireframe mode, with mirror mode turned off. Phil By any chance are you also using a ATI Radeon graphics card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did it, I got that solution from several people on IRC, I wonder why that does it... By any chance are you also using a ATI Radeon graphics card? No, I wish.. Thanks all, I'm now taking down the project file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted February 12, 2004 Admin Share Posted February 12, 2004 Sean, There is something wrong with your project file that I cannot fix without going into the code of the .mdl file and trying to sniff out the problem. Not porceline. Not splines (that I can tell) I did successfully copy/flip/attach the right side of your head in both v10.5 and v11. The problem I'm still having is pasting back into your project file. Drops to the desktop each time. If you want me to upload the complete head model/mesh (minus eyes) I'll be glad to do it. Unless I figure out how to clean out your project file the only other thing I can think to do is go into your project file, copy the eyes out into the new model and work from there. (Edited to say... Ooops, I see you found the answer) Best, Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacktaich Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Thanks for the help, but as you edited, I did find a solution although I'm still very curious as to what the reason is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
