Re: Create Copies from Polygon Mesh not copying UVs or materials like it's supposed to
Chris, thanks for taking a look at it. Well, maybe I'm missing the concept of point index then. Is it correct to assume a Point Index is an incremental value assigned to points, and that there's no gaps between it's values? example, a pointcloud with 5 particles has point indices 1,2,3,4 and 5. if I delete any 3 of them, now I get regenerated indices: 1,2 and 3. now if this is correct, how can a point be unavailable? sorry if I completely misunderstood the whole idea of point indices...
Create Copies from Polygon Mesh not copying UVs or materials like it's supposed to
Hey guys, Anyone had any problems with this compound? I'm on 2012.SAP at work and I enabled the Texture Projection options in the compound, but it doesn't seem to transfer them. Material isn't transferring either it seems. The source mesh is a super simple grid with a frozen planar XZ projection. Anyone seen any problems like this before? Cheers, -- Alan

What are the values of Materials and MaterialID on the source object ? (Add an Attribute Display property to read them ) On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:49 AM, Alan Fregtman alan.fregt...@gmail.comwrote: Hmmm, it's not displaying the materials so I think something's wrong still. If I apply the source material on the ice polymesh object then I can see the UVs transferred properly, but it's not setting materials from source. I put Set Materials from Library and Set Material ID like in your screenshot. No luck. What else could it be?

Re: Create Copies from Polygon Mesh not copying UVs or materials like it's supposed to
Found the problem... I hadn't noticed that apparently a MaterialID of 0 is not permitted (and not noticed you used 1 in your screenshot.) I was under the impression that 0 = first, but apparently 0 is not a good MaterialID to set and the first = 1. Everything works fine now. In retrospect I should've paid extra attention to the integer of 1 in your screenshot and the sample tree screenshot from the Cloning and Copying Topology in ICE docs page. It even says: The value 0 is for polygons that use the object's material. but it's not in bold or anything. That's a pretty important point imho. Sorry for the noise.
