I'm still working on my jellyfish model, first part is convert in ISO CGS
and work fine - at least the way I want -
See attached image.

But I am in trouble using IC_Merge_Array. The code I try is:

#declare SP4 = IC_Translate ( IC_Scale ( IC_Sphere ( <0, 0, 0 > , 1 ), < 0.5
, 1 , 0.2 > ), < 0.7 , -0.7 , 0 > )

#declare SP_Array = array[12]

#declare SP_Array[0] = SP4
#declare SP_Array[1] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*30 )
#declare SP_Array[2] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*30 )
#declare SP_Array[3] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*60 )
#declare SP_Array[4] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*90 )
#declare SP_Array[5] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*120 )
#declare SP_Array[6] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*150 )
#declare SP_Array[7] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*180 )
#declare SP_Array[8] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*210 )
#declare SP_Array[9] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*240 )
#declare SP_Array[10] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*270 )
#declare SP_Array[11] = IC_Rotate( SP4 , y*300 )

#declare MedTent = IC_Merge_Array ( SP_Array )

but I get the following message:

File: D:\transfert\perso\povfile\include\iso_csg.inc  Line: 82
        #if (Counter>0) , #end

          _ICSG_Array[Counter] <----ERROR

Parse Error: Attempt to access uninitialized array element.

and Christoph Hormann code is:

#macro IC_Merge_Array(_ICSG_Array)        // merge an array of objects
  #local Size=dimension_size(_ICSG_Array,1);

  function {
    min(
      #local Counter=0;
      #while (Counter<Size)
        #if (Counter>0) , #end
          _ICSG_Array[Counter] (x,y,z)  // line 82
        #local Counter=Counter+1;
      #end
    )
  }
#end

Any clue to solve this?

Chaps.

This does not work, SP4 is a function.  Try:

#declare SP_Array[0] = function { SP4(x, y, z) }

Fast response time :o)

Many thanks, Christoph,

it works - even if it is a bit slow :o[

Thank you for posting all this work.
