I use the Win NT4 version of Carrara. I am trying to replicate in a circle using the Replicate command in the Edit menu of the Vertex Model Room. I am using an Inserted Block to test with, but nothing happens when I complete the command. What is the secret to making this command work? If anyone knows the correct settings (Arc Angle, Radius, Axis, Rotate Copies, etc.), please respond. Thank You....

It works for me, so I must not understand what the problem is. If you try a circle array, and use the default settings, it won't look like anything has happened, cause the diameter is too small. Try increasing it by about 3 times. Anyway, like I said, it works for me, so anything I can do to help, i'll do! Hoborg

I'm also having a problem using the replicate in a circle command. It seems to replicate the objects on top of each other. I have no trouble with the linear and array replication, but the circle replication has me baffled.

Hi Chris, Sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. I'm having the same prob. I know that your original post about this indicated that you were trying to make some bricks for a well. I'd create the bricks in the spline modeler positioned in a circle already and extrude them. Hoborg, you say you can create the circle replication with no problem? Could you post a screen capture of the your settings? (Sorry, I'm one of those 'show me a picture' types) Mark
