Member Flippers Posted December 3, 2014 Author Member Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 BUMP. anyone have some ideas? i tried a new scene and i'm still getting the same error messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi If you post more info about the project, will be more easy try to help. Is symmetry OFF Will you please attach a display capture which app version are you using, which OS... Gizmo Axis are used to scale the Cut area (in this example... Patch type = round patch) is intersecting only one mesh section ? Then select join type (in this example Cylinder) After apply * im using 4.1.17D version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 3, 2014 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, it's really hard to tell what the issue might be with so little to go on. You can ALT + SHIFT + S to save a screen capture. 3D Coat will upload it to the server. Once it has, click on the image > copy the web address. Then in your post, here, click on the little Image icon in the format bar (above your text). That lets you paste the URL of an image, which it will embed into your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Flippers Posted December 4, 2014 Author Member Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) thanks for the replies gang. i couldn't log into the forums last night. in the image you can see i have a split in the middle of his arm, its not touching anything but the bicep of his arm. I've tried switching from the square to the circle shape as well. no luck. it never works, ever. i've tried multiple times. Surface mode, tried with symmetry on and off. i'm using 4.1.17. i'm starting to think this is a bug. i've tried slicing on the guys legs, same result anywhere i try and slice. ARGH! such a super useful tool for 3d printing and it wont work for me? Edited December 4, 2014 by Flippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi I cant replicate, sorry could you share the model ? if not... please do a test with a base model like this (Shift+M to open project browser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Flippers Posted December 4, 2014 Author Member Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 i've tried doing this on cylinder shapes and other objects and it works. it just refuses for this model though? i've tried closing holes, surface mode...still dont work.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 4, 2014 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Can you send the work file to Andrew (support@3d-coat.com)? You can upload it directly to their server from the HELP menu. Once done, e-mail him and let him know you just uploaded and the issue you are having. 3D Coat has been a little fussy with me on the current project I am working on. It will slow down the PBR stuff, but stability should always come first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member metrons Posted December 11, 2014 Member Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 hi gang. i had to create a new account. here is the file to test for slicing. i've tried slicing at the waist, the biceps, and the knees. it never works... https://www.dropbox.com/s/wn9d1jb5r96w7ww/PrintTest.OBJ?dl=0 I'm dying to get this tool to split. it will be a life saver if it would only work.

Carlosan Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Hi first test: the model is separated in tiny parts. Any reason for this ? second test: No Separate = no problem hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member metrons Posted December 11, 2014 Member Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 i believe those parts are polygroups. i've been doing this. Import, apply. so my character is made up of a solid voxel shape basically. ...how did you get that to work carlosan? could you give me the steps you did? i've tried and tried and tried and it never works. can you slice his torso? or legs as well?

Carlosan Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I imported the obj model at Blender using this options: Smooth Groups = OFF Split by object = OFF Split by Groups= OFF Then, with the model in one piece, i exported it again PrintTest-NoSPLIT.zip Last steps: import the new obj inside 3DC using Merge without voxelization = on press Autoscale once split and joints as desired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted January 16, 2015 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I feel like such a fool! I swore that was a voxel tool. Cheers! I'm not sure why it's not also in Voxel mode, either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi metrons Could you share your model please ? I want to check your model following the 2 support tickets you opened ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 metrons or Flippers please try to follow the help that we are giving you I found the same post asked time ago, its the same model http://3d-coat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16943&hl=split then you open a bug report... http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=1722 Is not a bug The model is in voxel mode, you need to clean the geometry first before switch to surface mode RMB -> fill voids + close invisible hulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member metrons Posted January 20, 2015 Member Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 still doesn't work carlosan. i tried filling voids and closing invisible hulls and it still didn't work. Edit: I tried rotating the cut plane below the knee a little bit and it started cutting. out of nowhere, this tool is so random. sometimes it cuts and sometimes it doesn't.
