Morphs not extruding along z-axis!

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 10:40:23 GMT

Hi!

Having a major problem! - When I go to extrude a morph along the z-axis, it will only extrude along the x-axis. The pet palette is present, all tools able to be selected as normal when clicking the morph face. All settings seem normal, walls etc., still extrude along the Z when a value is entered.

Please help! Stuck!

Which version ? Which update ?

To add:

It's something that has gone wrong in this file, the other AC file I have open works fine when extruding morphs along the Z-axis.

I think that extruding along de z-axis only works in the 3D view.

Without being rude, I am of course in 3D view when trying to do this. I have never had this problem before and it still remains no matter what I do.

I'm sure it's just a button, setting that has been accidentally toggled, or a bug maybe.

Someone please help!

Made a small video.
You mean something like this?

Hi again

Yes, I cannot perform this action on certain morphs in my model - extruding along the z-axis as you are doing in the video.

For some reason certain morphs have lost this capability, which they had before.

Maybe it's something to do with the geometry? But I don't see why all of a sudden this has happened.

Can you post a screen shot of what you are trying to stretch?

I'm also having a similar problem—the pet pallet all the sudden is not showing the option to extrude. See attached screen shot.

I've tried unchecking Hidden Morph Geometry, I've tried other angles of viewing the object, I've tried restarting, I've also tried a new file. None of these things are working and I really need help with asap—deadline!!

I have noticed sometimes during testing that the pet palette didn't show all options.
Usually selecting other nodes, edged, surfaces can trick it back to normal.

There is new update out just today (build 5009).
Try installing that.

Hi y'all,

I think I know this one. The first row of options won't appear in the Pet Palette of Morphs when the 'Design>Modify Morph>Hidden Morph Geometry' is turned on. Just turn it off and try again.

I think it might have been intentionally designed like this, but I just can't see the benefits... I'll ask the designers to reconsider and handle this as a bug (request #140065).

Let me know if this was it!

Regards,

If you're experiencing the same problem as me, which is not related to the palette, but to the extrusion behavior not working properly I might have a fix for you. It might relate to the normal-direction of the morph-faces, meaning the object is inside-out.

If you try to extrude the face viewed from the other side, it worked for me: In the first image you can see the face I'm trying to extrude. if I click on it from that view and try to extrude, the object will extrude the wrong face only along the x-axis (image 2). However, if I flip the view and grab the face through the object (image 3) it works as intended.

Hope this helps.
