I put this here as I don't know if it's a plugin problem or a 3DC problem (the plugin seems to work properly; so it looks more like a 3DC problem).

I just added the wheels on my model and discovered that wheels from one side appear stuck with the wheels on the other side when reloading the saved model

Here is a test on an empty scene:

1) Parameters (bogie2 is the same)


2) Perfect result:


3) Save and reopen file:



All wheels are still there but one side is stuck with the other one.

I noticed also that, after reloading the saved model, colors of the bogies elements have changed (but it's an untextured object so it might be normal).

I made the same test with 3DC 7.0: same problem.

Looks like one for me - I'll check it today

I did have to make changes for wheels that have no spokes in the latest version.

I had a look at this and I think it is a bug in the plug-in. I can't be 100% certain, but I think so.

What I think is happening, is the objects are being created then added to a group and then modified after adding them to the group. If an object is modified after adding it to a group, "writescriptoperationlayer" has to be executed for the object.

To be honest, I'm not sure that the documentation says this has to be done or not. I've put a note to myself to have a look at the documentation for scripting.

It is in the plugin.

It only happens if you save immediately after creating the objects.
If you apply a texture to the wheels and save it works OK.

Fix soon (I hope)

Thanks for the easy workaround (texturing after creation).

All done - 2 updated downloads on my website.
