[opendx-users] Problems with polygons

2001-10-24 Thread Randall Hopper
I have some 2d faces with elevation data per face (i.e. elevation is dep faces). When I try to Rubbersheet this, DX complains: ERROR: RubberSheet: Invalid data: invalid data dependency: faces If I Post(positions) before Rubbersheet, I get the same error (that is, Post does nothing but

Ribbon creates triangles in 3d even if the input data are 2d (a feature). Its z-component is telling AutoAxes to do what you don't want. Try the following to remedy the situation: Ribbon | Remove(, normals) | Mark (,positions) | Compute ([a.x, a.y]) |

Lloyd A Treinish: If I remember right, to use RS, you'll need to decompose to triangles -- try Refine. Otherwise, try the following to not use RS, which you would probably prefer... Mark (,positions) | Compute ([a.x, a.y, b]) Thanks Lloyd. Refine(triangles) works well. The

Thanks anyway, but my plot is the same regardless of this trick (and the ribbon is still a surface). But in fooling with it, I discovered that my use of Translate may have been the thing messing the axes up. I cut out any translation in the z dimension, i.e. [.0001 .0001 0], and everything plots

The issue is AutoAxes getting something with 3d positions. I figured it was Ribbon, not knowing about Translate in your network. If you had taken the Translate out and left Ribbon the way it was, the problem would have still been there. Why do you need Translate? Is it because you have

I believe you want to use the fuzz attribute on the the ribbon to get it to be on top of the rest of the plot without actually making the thing 3D. On Wed, 2001-10-24 at 12:03, Sharon Gibson wrote: Thanks anyway, but my plot is the same regardless of this trick (and the ribbon is still a

I'll see if I can beat him this time. ;-) Try page 114 of the User's Reference. It's the Object Fuzz entry under the Display Module documentation. Or if you don't want to download the manual, you could do context sensitive help on the Display Module in a net and keep clicking next until you
