Am i missing something, or can’t LB recognize the corners i have marked with a red circle?
I’m going from 3 mm to 2 mm material.
Made these in boxes py.
If LB can’t recognize the corners, what is the way to go to manually adjust from 3 to 2 mm?
I suspect what’s happening is that boxes.py will by default put small loops into the inside corner. Disable that when you create the box and slot resize should work. At that point you could have boxes.py handle the change in material thickness though.
If for some reason it’s difficult to recreate the boxes this then you could try node editing and removing the loops.
Apologies, I realized I was interpreting your initial screenshots incorrectly.
I’ve seen the same results as this. I think LightBurn simply doesn’t identify the corners as eligible portions of the slot. I think a good candidate for a feature enhancement.
Came across something else when using/learning this tool.
Using the Resize slots on some squares, must have 2 mm.
When i press the square it will adjust the wrong way for me, picture 1.
Use the Shift , to rotate it.
Then use the tool again, and now it will adjust the way i want, picture 3.
What is causing this?
Not certain but I think what’s happening is that the resize features depends on the way LightBurn determines orientation of the shape based on node order.
Check out this example. Note that the slots are resizing in different direction:
And then with “Start Point Editor” showing. Note the location and direction of the arrow:
I believe that LightBurn draws rectangles normally in clockwise direction with starting node at top-left. So if the start node is in upper right or lower left I assume the resize will work along the other dimension.
When the “Resize slots” tool cant do the job I edit nodes.
This works fine when the line is in a 90 angle. But when it is out of angle, it does not turn out right.
Then i have to turn the piece so it is 90 degree and then the node editing woks perfect.
Is there another way to do it, or is this the way?
Hope you understand what i mean.
When i edit this i use CTRL and arrow to cut 1 mm. Is there a place where it is possible to set the length between 2 nodes?
