EK-sama Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Okay so I'm doing this duel map, and I'm making a round staircase, when i start cloning and rotating the stair brushes (plain old rectangles) they get all these funky angles to them soon I have 45 degree angles where there should be 90 degree angles, they lose thier original shape and it's totally screwing things up. Ideas? I've deleted them and tried again, and they're getting worse maybe - like I rotate them once and they start mutating, before it woudl be like 4 rotations before they started messing up . thx! ~EK-sama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 The rotate tool is very inexact. The best thing to do is probably to cut the brushes into the angles you need, if possible (for example, it's very easy to make a 45-degree angle using the clip tool, but using free or arbitrary rotation might screw the brush up). Also, avoid performing multiple rotations on an object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EK-sama Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 that's just the thing is that I'm only doing stairs, nothing fancy, nothing I haven't done with my comptuer before, just regular rectangular brushes that don't need to do anything else except get cloned, rotated and placed accordingly, and it's still doing it would re-installing Radiant help?

wedge2211 Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 No, reinstalling won't help, Radiant just has trouble rotating things. Try to clip the brushes into the angles you need instead of rotating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassev Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Yeah. And don't do it so, that you first make your brush, then clone it and rotate 45 degrees, then clone it and rotate 45 degrees to get the third brush 90 degrees rotated. You may (?) rotate 45 degrees the get the second, but for the third, clone the first and rotate it 90 degrees, because 90 degrees has never let me down (except for some texture alignments).

Leslie Judge Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hmm... The arbitrary rotation screws up my brushes, but the free rotation tool works fine for me. Even with multiple rotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starunner Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Have you tried setting your grid to it's smallest setting? I've found sometimes that moving or rotating brushes causes vertices to snap to the grid, which will mess up the brush really nicely if the grid is to large. This is a big problem whn you're trying to rotate an especially thin brush, as I've found recently. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
