here we go: simple scene from the creating networks video tut (m?).
a lattice op is supposed to deform the sphere:
here s the network:
cd obj
opadd geo new
cd new
rm file1
opadd sphere sphere
opadd box box
opwire sphere box
opadd lattice
opadd edit
opwire sphere lattice1
then I copy parameters for divisions from box and paste relative ref in lattice1 divisions
now I wire a) sphere into lattice1 (allread in ); b) box into lattice1 and 2x into edit1 and c) edit1 into lattice1
now Im supposed to just select edit , blue flag it, footprint lattice1 and click reselect geo for current operation in the viewport, and select points for further editing, aka deform the sphere with the box/lattice but: nocando
I repeated building the scene from scratch and ended up with following results:
a) most of the time, nothing happens. Im unable to edit the box, nor select it. viewport stays in view mode.
b) to my surprise I was able to select twice, but the lattice would not manipulate the geometry of the sphere
c) I was able to select and when I rmb confirmed an edit2 and a merge op was created
Im using version 6.5.53. on XP atm
what am I missing? there must be that little magic button somewhere
I ignored the fact, that the edit didnt work and went on to the next step changing the edit >spring op
the footprint of the lattice is moving but the sphere isnt.
thx in advance 8)
