xtom Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 How do you create a curved path like in the screenshot below.. Also what are do the different numbers mean on Smooth Groups 0 to 31 ?

Olby Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Use the tube compound object. You will have to play with the sizes to get the full 1/4 of a circle though. Un-group it and delete the unnecessary parts. Do it once and save out as a prefab that you can reuse. It might be easier to just import a model made somewhere else (click on the GIF below to see the animation). Built CSG boolean operators would make it easier to make all sorts crazy shapes. It has been requested and confirmed by Josh to be implemented at some point in 2015. 2 Quote Intel Core i7 Quad 2.3 Ghz, 8GB RAM, GeForce GT 630M 2GB, Windows 10 (x64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The curved concrete edge is actually part of the texture. I think it's part of the industrial texture pack in the Workshop.

xtom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks Olby, that works a treat. I never would have guessed a Tube shape could be used for this. Josh in the wireframe top view it looks like it is shaped geometry. By the way is one end of the tube shape supposed to be open? When I add it it is possible to see through one end and see caulk textures inside so I have to flip it over.

Olby Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 No its not supposed to be open sided. This means you set the thickness value a bit too high (basically it inverts the tube- making it inside out). The numbers from 0-31 mean you have 32 smoothing groups at your disposal.

xtom Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Ah I see. It would be good if you could edit the values for it after you place it as it's hard to judge how it will turn out. But at least it is something to work with. Thanks for the help. Quote Check out my games: One More Day / Halloween Pumpkin Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
