Description

When you try to add allocation forms to some cut, you cannot do it and get the message:

Or (after Smart Normalize):

Possible reasons

Cuts, not belonging to the "Base Cuts" category, usually have a limited set of parameters. For some of them, the Goodwind cut engine is applied which extends the set of parameters - adds slopes. Thus, you can control more parameters for these cuts. 

There are some limitations to such cuts:

  • Goodwin only accepts when 3 facets with 4+ vertexes converge at one vertex - more than 3 facets of such type are not accepted.



    Note Facets with 3 vertexes do not cause limitations.

  • Facet types should be correct.

How to solve

  1. To solve the 4+ vertexes problem, try running Smart Normalize. If this does not help:
  2. Check facet types of your model.

Example

Here is an example:

  • A - before Smart Normalize
  • B - after Smart Normilize
  • Yellow facets have 4 vertexes
  • Red facets have: 4 vertexes before SN, 3 vertexes after SN

Thus:

  • before SN, at the center vertex, 4 facets with 4+ vertexes converge - not good for Goodwin
  • after SN, at the center vertex, 2 facets with 4+ vertexes converge - good for Goodwin
  • No labels
