Mirror Group

I’d used the ‘weld to range’ plug-in, but for some reason it would never pick up the offending polys (presumably caused by using a Boolean cut).
From what I remember, the polys had a size of 0. Could this be why the ‘weld to range’ plug-in didn’t pick them up?

Another script to Mirror groups and sub-groups

The cylinder is a child of the cube, which is a child of the sphere.

The cube and cylinder groups are both rotated.

I selected the cube on the left and ran the script.

Here’s the script

3DC 6.6.5 or 7.0+ only

Copy the file into the scripts folder.

Thanks Paul, this is going to be most useful <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>

In your Shape fixer program, you have an option to show very small polys (by ‘raising’ them up). Is there any chance that a plugin could be written for 3DC to do the same thing? I always seem to end up with a couple in my models, and actually tracking them down can be very difficult.

Kevin – the Weld to Range Plugin should do the job for you.

Select the Hierarchy from the main group and run the plugin with a value of 0.002 (2mm)

There are one or two bugs with the last one I posted – this works better for more complex shapes.
