Ok...I know I'm going to look like a bumbling idiot once I see the answer
(which is probably right in front of me) to this, but I have been trying
unsuccessfully for the last few days to integrate your example into this
relatively simple file, which I have attached, minus my (most probably
idiotic) attempts to rectify this issue. *slams head against brick wall*
There are definite disadvantages to working 3rd shift and going to college
in the day...it fries your brain, making otherwise trivial tasks impossible.
:-(
Nomatter where in my file I try to integrate those macros, or what object or
variable I attach them to, the result is the same...that being no difference
vs. what is obtained without said mods.
Is my problem that I need to construct my object within one loop instead of
two, and then to allocate generated vectors to an array contained within
said loop? I'm fxxin lost at this point. *prays for sleep*
TIA for any elucidation, disobfuscation, or even a swift kick in the ass.
:-D
