Hi,
I finally got started using HamaPatch, after having it for about a year. I
was making something in Moray, and found that part of it would be impossible
with Moray. Here's my problem:
I made an irregular spline that is half of a symetrical spline that I want
to extrude. To get the second (right) half to match the first (left), I
copied, pasted, and rotated to get two matching halves. I then welded the
common center point. It appears to be one spline; I can select all the
points and move it around, but when I click on "extrude", all the points on
the right side get de-selected, and only the left side will extrude. I've
tried it several times in different ways, always with the same results. What
am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
Steve Shelby

Sometimes I get the same behaviour in Hamapatch.

One thing that usually works for this is:
When you got the half spline, clone it.
Then flip it in the axis you need to (model -> flip (whatever axis))
Close the spline.
Extrude it
Usually that works.

Hope this helps.

I tried that, and it still does the same thing. I think it must have
something to do with the way I'm connecting the two halves. I'm going to
look at the tutorials and see if I can find a clue there.

If you want, send me the hamapatch file so I can take a look.
