• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

Red Rectangles on a row

In the vessel view, my image shows one row appearing as a smaller diameter with a red rectangle pattern on it. What is it's purpose? How do I remove it? In the cutaway view the image looks normal.... Later .......I just clicked the Profile Snap button and the rectangle disappeared and the ring returned to its correct size. I do not understand the Profile Snap button's purpose. I could not find anything in the Help.

I downloaded your WTP file. I noticed Ring 04 (red checkerboard) is smaller than your profile. The red boxes are a warning that your ring is not what it should be.
You are correct than when you snap to profile the (red) goes away. I would snap to profile and then save your wtp file. Exit WTP, go back in and open the file. When I did the vessel view has the ring at the profile setting and no red boxes.

I also noticed that when I opened your original file the cut away view showed as ok and the vessel view had the red boxes. I can't explain that. That would be one for Lloyd.

To answer your question of the what is the purpose of the snap to profile function is.:
It is a quick way to have the program snap rings to the inside and outside profile you imported from 3DDesign.

A - shows the profile as imported into WTP from 3DP
B - Shows quickly building rings vertically to the top of the profile
C- Shows after clicking snap to profile all of the rings at once are "snapped" to the profile.
