Hello,
what is the best method to create roofs with tiles.
I’ve tried all the tutorials and methods, I can’t seem to get the tiles to line up correctly.
I use Skatter V2.
Thank you for your help.
Edit : it is a problem of axes. Skatter seems not to want to use the axes of the face but always the axes of the world.
Am I right? If so, that’s a shame. I have dozens of roofs to do. I can’t waste my time reorienting all my roofs before applying a distribution.
Please, tell me I’m wrong and that there is an automatic solution to distribute tiles on roofs of different orientations.
I can’t create an example right now. But you could try making one group per roof slope, add all of them as Hosts, then use the “Object Space” projection mode.
@DCHA34 I did some tests and it seems that Object Space projection doesn’t generate correct results with some orientations of the surface. This is most likely a bug. We’ll investigate this.
In the meantime, you should be able to create tiles on surfaces that are aligned with the world’s axes, like in the following example, and then move/rotate the whole group once the results are satisfying.
Hello, were you able to solve this problem? Is this planned soon? I have to renew my license soon and this problem is an obstacle for me.
Thank you for your help.
Hi @DCHA34
Unfortunately, we have not been able to find the time to focus on Skatter recently.
We’re currently finishing up a new extension and also adding features to our other plugin, Transmutr.
Once this is done (hopefully in september/october), then we’ll be able to consolidate all our plugins and especially Skatter.
