A question regarding symmetry...

[little square dot]

Howdy.

I was just tinkering with my welded fairing system and found an incredibly annoying wrinkle that I can't seem to iron-out.

My fairings are 3x, but for some reason I can only attach fairings in symmetry mode if I rotate my fairing segment from it's default orientation. In other words, two of the three nodes result in 3x symmetry placement, but the one node that's lined-up with the default orientation of the fairing segment (allegedly for ease of use) will not permit symmetrical placement.

All nodes work fine if I place the fairings one at a time, so there's nothing wrong with the orientation of the uncooperative node.

Any ideas?

Could you post your stack node config lines please?

eg:

node_stack_BL = -3.403, -1.77, 1.965, -0.612, 0, 0.354, 2
node_stack_BR = 3.403, -1.77, 1.965, 0.612, 0, 0.354, 2
node_stack_F = 0, -1.77, -3.929, 0, 0, -1, 2

cheers.

Node format is like: pos x, pos y, pos z, dir x, dir y, dir z, node size.

AFAIK, both pos & dir are vectors so it's not possible to define the "roll" of that orientation.
