Hi,

i would like to rotate and translate a sphere created with ShapeWizard / sw_Sphere.glf.

But when i copy and paste it and try to translate it i get the following mesh (see picture below).

Does anybody know how to translate that sphere or how to create it in another plane.

Thanks for your help

Missing picture.

Without it I can make a guess. Be sure to copy and translate everything - database, connectors and domains.

Otherwise I'll wait for picture.

Sorry forgot to upload it...

I don't have problem copy/translating a 1/4 of a sphere created with the ShapeWizard script.

Can you describe in more detail who you did so? E.g. selected the domain, CTRL+C, CTRL+V, Translate mode, enter translation parameters, click OK

If that's not it, you may have run into a bug. Which version of Pointwise are you using (get version from Help>About)?

I am wondering because i used a a hundred times before and it worked in that way:

Create Sphere via shapeWizard: 1/2, default parameter

CTRL+A, CTRL+c, CTRL+v, Translate, Offset Vector: 0 0 15 --> then i get the first picture!

CTRL+A, CTRL+c, CTRL+v, Rotate, angle: 90 --> then i get the second picture!

It seems like one half isn't translated or rotated....

my version is: Pointwise V17.1 Release 4 -- Optimized Build 0165121614 (2013-09-12 16:14:00) Windows 64-bit

(should there be any database? I just get 1 domain, 4 cons and 4 spacing constraints)

Thank You

It doesn't look like you're doing anything out of the ordinary - it should just work.

The newest version is V17.2 R1 so you might want to upgrade to that version. If that doesn't help, you should email Pointwise support (support@pointwise.com) with a description of the issue.

Before you attached that picture, I "guessed" there was a database but there need not be one.

Are you sure all the connectors are getting selected/copied? Be sure your selection mask settings are correct.

The image looks to me like only the domain is getting pasted/translated and it is stretching back to the original, now shared, connector.

That was the problem. I think I didn't select all entities... I haven't recognized it at that time - the next time I started PW and tried it it worked and I was really confused

Thank you )))
