How to batch export curves into single DXF file Dec. 29, 2025, 1:29 p.m.
Hi,
Were the slices created along the vertical axis? Also there seems to be 2 curves per slice, like a wall thickness, how do you plan to handle that?
if it were me, I'd sort the polygons based on the vertical axis (using a sort SOP); then use a blast with the frame number in the group field and "delete unselected" checked; set a rop geo outputh to use the frame number in the naming of the DXF and set the range to be from 0 to the number of curves (-1) you have in your scene.
Cheers,

Average out a RaySOP position and normal (smooth it) - Dec. 29, 2025, 11:34 a.m.
I usually bring the position information into CHOPs and filter it out. I also like to add some lag and jiggle to it for extra fun...

I've finally straightened out all the loose ends for my Simple Particles tool. I mean almost... I can only provide a non-commercial version for now (Orbolt doesn't seem to be working), but if there's enough interest, I'm willing to release an unrestricted version in the near future.
Menawhile I'd love to hear some feedback and if you makes something cool please feel free to share!
