Wrapping a Coil Around a Torus (manual tutorial) // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by Leif // Feb 1, 2007, 3:37pm Leif Total Posts: 276 On pages 394 to 396 in tS7 artist guide, is this tutorial. Following the instructions, all is well until macrosweep, when the .5 diameter circle is macrosweeped with the path that was extracted from the radial array. The path saved to path library (the extracted path) looks like this: 4120 Why is it segmented like that? And after macrosweeping with that curve, when pressing bend button, it does not bend like expected. Is there some settings that should be set that the tutorial does not mention? Post by Chester Desmond // Feb 1, 2007, 4:52pm Chester Desmond Total Posts: 323 One thing you could try is to check the settings on the path: Post by Leif // Feb 2, 2007, 3:14am Leif Total Posts: 276 Yes thank you. When clicking "Create copy of path of radial array" button, 4122 sometimes produce a curve with sharp corners, other times curve with rounded corners. 4123 What decides whether rounded/sharp corners are created on extracted curve??? Post by Leif // Feb 2, 2007, 12:02pm Leif Total Posts: 276 I found the solution to this now. Thanks Chester. Your reply brought me to the solution. Enter curve edit tool IN the array tool and making the first point in the array curve smooth, that sets all points in the extracted (copied) array curve smooth.
