• 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.

feature ring showing incorrect number of segments in bowl view

In the bowl view, the segment ring is not showing the correct number of segments. I have 24 segments in my vase with the feature ring as half of default yet I am seeing 24 segments in my feature ring (seeing 12 segments in the side view). The summary is correctly showing 12 segments with the correct edge length but the bowl view is incorrect. Any suggestions?

Hi Chuck
Would you export your json file and attach it to a response.
Have you saved the plan, closed SP and restart SP, then pull up the project plan. Is it the same results?

I went into SP and pulled up a profile. 24 segments, featured ring. Went into storyboard and played around with the featured rings The image changed in the storyboard and the bowl view for me.

I just opened up the same file that I saved earlier and got the same results. The first file is half default, second file is same as default and the third is double default. I must be doing something wrong. I even went into the settings and could not find anything.

Chuck. Do a Share / Export and then attach the json file to a post. That way someone can look at your plan and see if something stands out. Your file is needed to look at your settings.

In your photos I see the featured ring changing in numbers.
 
I do not know how to Share/Export and I do not know what a json file is. Also, the reason why the feature ring is changing in numbers is per my previous email to show that it changes when I change the default setting. The bottom line is that none of them are correct. The half default setting is showing 24 segments when it should only show 12 segments (6 segments in the side view).
 
Sorry you did not understand post 4. Review this vid. Around the 7:40 mark Lloyd explains the Share (export) feature. It might be helpful for you to review the full 10 min vid.


The json file is the SP database export file format. I have not been able to recreate your issue. That is why I have requested a copy of your plan. You could send Lloyd a email and ask for assistance.
 
I see what I did wrong. In this case (the pattern I chose) a segment is considered 2 patterns so the pattern I created will have 24 patterns. This is a case of operator error.

I was pretty sure I had this working as advertised. I know that there are a few things in the Storyboard that aren’t persistent, though, and when I get some time, I’m going to try to make sure they are there so thanks for posting this issue. Even though in this case, it is working correctly, it is just a likely that you have found one that is an issue and making me look at it is a good way to get me going on fixing those that are issues.

BTW, I’m going to move this thread to the Segmented Turning forum as I’m trying to keep the Video Tutorials category tutorials only so that they are easy to find.
