Disappearing Clones
-
I have a roller conveyor model that I want to duplicate into right and left versions using the symmetry object. Then I want to clone the resulting pair of conveyors 6 times. This model is a simplification of the assembly (which is too large to send).
If I leave the all the cloners set to Instance, then the cloned symmetry objects don't work right - the clones get out of alignment. If I set the top level cloner to Multi Instance, then the symmetry works better, but the clones are offset.
I also have a configuration (not repeated here) where the roller clones just disappear. They appear normally in the symmetry object, but when I clone the symmetry object, the rollers are gone.
I have tried multiple variations of Instance/Render Instance/Multi Instance with all the cloners and get variations of unsatisfactory results.
I had this problem before and you fixed it for me, but when I went back to look up the solution, I discovered I couldn't access that exchange. I think it was in the old Cineversity. So maybe its lost forever

Hi MFVis,
Thanks for setting up a demo file and sharing it. Great to work with.
Please have a look here.
CV4_2024_drs_24_MGsc_01.c4dYou left the Tracer/Null objects out of the Cloner setup.
Let me know if that is now as you like to have it.
Enjoy your weekend
