3ds Max Modeling :: Close Open Spline
Feb 21, 2014
how I can easily find openings in a spline and/or overlapping vertices and edges that prevent the extrude modifier from working correctly? I very frequently need to import .DWG's and .AI's and many times they have hundreds of vertices. Even after I apply a normalize spline modifier to diminish the vertex count, it can be quite tedious to find breaks and overlaps. I find fiddling with the weld verts also to be a pain (usually removes more vertices than I want). I just want to graphically see it on the screen the problematic areas if possible. Attached is a good example. I can easily see on 2 of the splines the yellow vertex to signify start/finish but on the 3rd spline I don't see anything. There are 2 vertices in the same spot and it looks like 1 white vertex. I've never really used Xview but I'm probably not using it correctly. When I use it I get a bunch of green vertices that aren't in any way overlapping.

I'm using 3dsMax 2010.
I have created a big spline. When I tried to "Convert to poly", it doesn't work. Usually, as result, the spline appears with a filled. In my case, the spline disappears. I thought it might be because the spline is not closed, but it is correct.

I brought an Adobe Illlustrator AI file in to 3ds Max and extruded it into the shape I need.
I then beveled the parts that needed beveling. You can see the results, how do I get a smoother look to the beveled parts?

Script to clone an object along a spline so that if i modify that spline vertices all the clones are repositioned automaticaly?
I use to apply a Path Constraint to initial object position and then i call Tools|Snapshot to clone it, but this works just for distribute the clones. The path is relationed just to original object, not to the clones...

I have booleand two splines, that were beveld to give them depth, than booleen together to make the shape of a car. I am having trouble completing the modeling because of the mesh. Is there anyway to make the mesh better (as in like a grid)?

How can i achieve symmetry on a spline by adjusting the handles of the vertices? The copy/paste tangent button is only useful for vertices with handles pointing in the same directions, how can i copy/paste tangent (same length) but pointing in the opposing directions, it would be like mirroring tangents?

i already searched for a similiar problem, but I did not find any.. I'm new to 3ds Max and im using 2014.
I created a spline from a shape, which is the upper spline. The lower spline is created by the create line option. With refine i added a few vertexes.
Now i want to connect the vertexes but it doesnt work. The only 2 vertexes that are connectable when i click on connect (a little + appears when I hover those vertexes) is the lower right and the lower left. When I use cross section, all the vertexes connect anyhow, but not the way I want it.

I am trying to apply shell modifier on a custom made spline (shown as 1 in image).But as soon as I click on shell modifier the spline disappears. I dont understand what is happening because I applied shell modifier on a similar custom made spline and it work properly previously (shown as 2 in image).

It's possible in maya to sweep a profile along a closed curve? Like in 3DsMax, for example to make a window frame with a particular section profile?

Is there a way to extract the WHITE edges of this Editable Poly as Spline Shapes? Then I could use the Surface modifier to convert it to a Patch object.
I know there is a "Create Shape From Selection" button on in the Editable Poly dialog. But this gives me the ORANGE lines from the control cage, not the smooth lines on the subdivided object.

I'v created my shape, snapped the vertex but cannot combine them to other sides, so when i go to smooth the shape it shows the disconnected edges/vertex...I'v attached a screen shot to show you the edges i mean (circled).

I am trying to LOFT multiple ellipse shapes along a spline path to create a door handle. But as soon as I choose 1 section, MAX creates the shape. I cannot figure out how to create the shape with multiple cross sections. I have attached a screen shot and a pic of the door handle I want to create.

I've been modelling in Maya for less than a day so go easy on me!
I'm in the process of making a traffic light and have got a bit stuck on the shade around the light.
I first made a profile curve and revolved it to get a kind of cup shape. The profile curve double backs on itself so the revolve is not completely flat.
Next I projected a curve onto the side of the revolve to get the wavy shape of the light shade, and trimmed the excess off.
Now I have my lovely traffic light shape, but the ends where the revolve was trimmed are not attached. (Because I double backed the profile curve)
Is there any way I can close up this gap?
(I've attached some screenshots).

I'm trying to create an external involute spline (ANSI B92.2M) Fillet Root Side Fit 26.9mm x 1 mm x 26 teeth x 38 mm long using the spline generator with Inventor 2012. I created a test shaft"M-182-AMA.ipt" that is Ø26.9 mm x 38 mm long with 1 mm radius on each end of shaft.
I use the following steps:
1. After creating component "M-182-AMA.ipt" I select Design tab>>Power Transmission>>Involute Spline.
2. A window appears that has the caption "Involute Splines Connection Generator".In the Dimensions section I choose "Splines Type: ANSI B92.2M - 37.5 deg, Fillet Root, Side Fit, 26 x 1.00 x 38 x 5H/5h" and change the Length to 38 mm.
3. In the Shaft Groove section I use Create new, and I push the Reference 1 button that turns blue, I then select the od feature from the model and I get an error(see attached pic "error1.jpg).
I changed the 26.9mm od to be 27mm and it still gave me the error.

I use my photoshop daily and have about 50000 images on my computer so very much need the bridge to be able to view them all and select the ones I want. for the past few days I have been getting "photoshop has encountered an error and needs to close" every time I try to open a file through bridge, quite often I also get the same error message on the bridge as well a few seconds later.
I have tried reinstalling photoshop, I even tried deleting all the presets which I have added over the years and trying it straight from the reinstall, it still does the same,

I need to copy and rename my current drawing then open the copied drawing, and I need to close the original drawing.
However when I try to both open the renamed drawing and close the original drawing (in the code below), the original drawing will not close.
If I don't open the renamed drawing, the following code works and I can close the original drawing.
[CommandMethod("TestClose", CommandFlags.Session)] public void TestCloseDocument() { string fullName = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name; string projectDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Name);
[Code] .....

I have purchased CS6 and I am having problems with the 64-bit version. After I open it completely freezes and I have to force close it. This happens every time I open it. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it multiples times. I didn't have this issue with CS5. I am running this on a Mac 10.6.8, Processsor 2.8 with 8GB memory.

I've made a fairly extended action that consists of several groups/folders. Unfortunately, the action leaves one group in particular open, and I would prefer it closed.
I woud simply extend the action by one step, that of closing the group; but clicking the open/close triangle seems not to be a recordable step.Nor can I find a menu option.How can I record the closing of a group?

I had Inventor 2013 and it worked well for a long time, I didn't use it for a while, then yesterday I tried to use it again and it wouldn't work. It starts up fine, and gets to the menu where you can choose from recent files, new files, tutorials, etc. After I select anything to open, whether its a new or old file, the program will load open the file then immediately stop working. No error message is displayed besides Windows telling me "this program has stopped working". I updated to 2014 yesterday, and the exact same problem persists.

Is there a way Autocad could just do what I asked for, and nothing more?A few examples
- After publishing, the publish dialog auto closes. I don't wat that. After publishing dwf I also want pdf.(I know you can save the list, that's not the point. If you didn't close the dialog I wouldn't need it)
- When selecting a hatch, the ribbon automatically jumps to Hatch Editor. I don't want that. Maybe I just want to change the layer. I can find the Hatch editor my self..Dito for XREFS
- I do not want any dialog giving me warnings, about anything.
If an XREF doesn't get attached, I can see that. I don't need a dialog telling me.If a shape file is missing, I can see that..A triangle sign above the command line is totaly adequate.Don't auto open or close dialogs, for what ever reason.
So ... don't auto do anything I can perfectly do manualy. No doubt there are a few more examples I can't think of right now.The nice thing would be to get a variable that gives me that "no auto" mode.
