Member nmceri Posted February 19, 2020 Member Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm liking some of the new functionality with the curves. It's going to make my life easier! I'm having a problem with the coat tool. When I have a shape with a cutout, I can get it to work sometimes, but other times it seems like it refuses to do a cutout. how can I fix this? You can see the gap in the upper left of the image. that was the best I could get. Initially it was chaos, but after a lot of tweaking, I got it to look at least clean, even if it still has that strange gap. Any advice on how to fix these?

Carlosan Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Could you detail your workflow please ? Are you using cutoff or coat to get that shape ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member nmceri Posted February 19, 2020 Author Member Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 I figured it out now. I'm using coat. The problem happened because I generated the curves by converting freeze to curves. This created a single curve which LOOKS like two curves, but when you try deleting some points, you'll find it's actually one curve. I discovered this when I started deleting points on what I thought was the 2nd curve, the two curves joined together at the place you see there. To fix it, I made 2 versions of the curve, and deleted one of the rings from each of them, and then created a hierarchy so the inner curve was the child of the outer curve. Then did the "right click/fill with mesh layer" and it worked great. In the future, it would save me a ton of work if it actually generated 2 curves. I could create the parenting relationship myself, but needing to create my own copy, and deleting so many points is rather cumbersome. STILL! It's a super awesome feature, and even though it's buggy like this, it will still save me a lot of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
