Why does the loop cut tool go at an angle here? I just want it parallel. Is the only option the Plane Cut restricted to a selection?

Not understanding why the bevel controls aren't working. here

Hey Dr. Sassi,

I had tried both of those prior without success.

Apologies if I've asked this before, I likely forgot.

When sweeping a profile around a spline, say for a baseboard, often the result is inverted. Is there a better way to fix this instead of messing around with the axis of the profile itself?

What would be the best way to recreate this Apple Watch band?

I've tried tracing it with the spline pen to get the basic shape without much success. I've also tried making basic outline and then using the spline arc tool to get the overall shape.

Apologies for the late reply. I like the ideas but they don't work when used in the actual scene.

Awesome. I think the first option will be a good start. Thank you.

I've uploaded a section from the original scene with annotations.

Hi,

I have a Rube machine which I'm using dynamics to animate. On one section the ball gets stuck in a rail. The rail has a collider tag and is set to Convex Hulls. Setting the Geometry Accuracy to 10 on the rail will still get the ball stuck as the Rigid Body shape isn't leaving enough room for the ball to travel past. Setting the rail to Triangle Mesh doesn't work either as the ball just falls through the rail.

Any suggestions?

How can I randomize the rotation of objects in a cloner 360 deg but in steps of 90 deg?
