SideFX Revovler Tutorial Dec. 24, 2025, 6:22 a.m.

Hi,
On Lesson 6 of Model a Revolver tutorial, at 7:39, the Flatten Nnode was used to project a thickness to the trigger guard.

I've attempted to follow along, checking what I'm doing to the pdf and even trying to google the problem nut I keep getting the result of the points being flattened to the 0.025 parameter ogf the X axis Origing, which is supposed to project the points, not flatten them.

I experimented with the other parameters in the Flatten node. THe closest I could come to a result is by changing the X Origin, Direction, the Strength, the Distrance Min/Max but nothing I did gave me the correct results.

I'm noy sure what I'm doing wrong. Went back and redone it several times from the Bridging to form the trigger guard and get the same results.

The Clip node worked great but the Flatten node is falling flat for me.
Any help or suggestions to why the Flatten node is behaving this way. It should work.
I'm using the Apprentice licence version 2-.5.753

I have attached a couple of screen shots of the Flatten Node for reference. Hopefully it's something simple I missed

Thanks
