Your hotpoint for your gifts may not on the bottom of them, that's why you have this problem. Edit the original gifts hotpoint and you will be able to put them on the floor

Thomas, Thank you for creating the "Modeling a Gift with Hexagon". The tutorial is really helping me learn Hexagon. However, I'm having some trouble and I was wondering if you can help me. When you're creating the ribbon for the gift, you have to create the knot with the Curve tool and then hold the CTRL button and "move forward to generate a band of polygons". I just don't understand what you meant when you wrote "move forward to generate a band of polygons" part in the tutorial. I will appreciate any help that you can give me. |

well... take another exemple : 1- create a circle and validate to exit the tool 2- pick the move or universal manipulator 3- keep CTRL key (or Command on Mac) and move your cirlce like that >> as result, you should see the original circle stay on it original position and a kind of extrusion appears. This is what is call "edge modeling", a kind of extrusion from a set of edges. You can also create one polygon (with the polygon tool), select one edge, and repeat step 3 above, you should see a polygon appears while you move your selection with the CTRL key pressed. I hope it will help !

Thank you, Thomas for explaining to me how to generate a band of polygons from the flat heart drawing. It really helped me learn the tutorial. I'm very sorry for the late response but your instruction was greatly appreciated.

| Help! Newbie
I am already stuck at step 2. I usually learn computer programs quickly, so I am feeling very frustrated (and embarassed). Step 2 says to select the "Boundary" tool. It even has a picture of the icon. I can't find it anywhere. I looked for it in the manual and found this description with a picture of the same icon as in the tutorial, "In the Selection Menu, or in the Contextual menu, then through the advanced selection submenu, select Boundary." I do not have any submenus in my selection menu. Is this a version issue (I have 2.1 for PC), or a French toCynthia English translation issue, or am I completely misunderstanding something? It seems like a simple enough tutorial. I can't believe that I can't get it. Thanks. |

Thank you for your work on this tutorial. The images seem to be missing though. I cannot see them and if I follow the link I get: Code: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, totyo@dspnet.fr.eu.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. |
