Sean Redmond Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hello, I've been trying to convert trees from cm to in for a few hours now with no luck. Every time I rescale, things look alright, then I reload the file (same units, different units, doesnt matter) and it breaks the scale again. What's the proper workflow here or is it just buggy? Thanks, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Redmond Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Okay, I have found out that some things aren't saving after rescaling for some reason. Value Curves on mesh nodes are the main thing. I had to go in and manually rescale those after reloading, saving, and reloading again. There is something else that isn't matching up 100% and I can't find out what it is but some branches are not angled correctly- maybe another node somewhere is breaking. Either way, is this a bug?

Eduard Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 Hello Sean, Please send me your scene file where your model needs to be converted to inches. I'll investigate this problem and try to figure out where the bug is. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hello Sean, Yes, we're still investigating this issue. It's strange, but it seems that earlier we already solved it, but now I see that it has reappeared. As a quick fix, you can open these trees and change the units in this scene as you wish. This will rescale the tree correctly. Then you can merge it into another scene without any problems. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the quick fix but it didn't seem to work for me. The Trunk still gets very skinny after merging even though it looks right beforehand. Did this work when you tried it? Thanks!

Hello Sean, Of course, I was able to properly scale the trees (that you sent me). Maybe you didn't completely change the units? There you need to change the display and system units, and set them up so that they are exactly the same as in the final scene where you'll import the tree. Thanks!

Here is what I am doing: I load the file in centimeters, change the system and display units to inches, save and close the file After importing to the new scene, the tree appears okay, but is much too large (due to not rescaling) I can change the scale to 39.37 but not collapse the transform, is that what you mean? will this cause any issues with animation?

Eduard Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Hello Sean, Apologize for the delay in replying!

Yes, most likely I didn't compare the actual size of the tree. You can try to rescale it using the built-in Rescale GrowFX object algorithm in the Preference parameters rollout. Thanks!

Valentina589 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Alright, I've noticed that certain elements aren't persisting after resizing for some unknown reason. The primary issue revolves around Value Curves on mesh nodes. Despite saving, reloading, and saving again, I had to readjust these curves manually. Additionally, there's another discrepancy I can't pinpoint; some branches aren't aligning correctly. Another node may be causing the problem. Could this be a bug?
