I’m modelling a conveyor and using linear clone to clone it. The issue I faced is that the frames on the original conveyor aren’t being cloned. Any tips to cloning the frames too?
hi
Do you mean you use the linear clone feature?
Linear clone feature doesn’t work for frame features.
You can create this frame in python script, like:
frames = comp.RootFeature.createFeature(VC_TRANSFORM, ‘Frames’)
frame = frames.createFeature(VC_FRAME,‘Frame’)
For example, this approach is also used in spiral conveyors or Shuttle Conveyors in the eCatalog

Hey! I tried to write some kind of script with an example from the spiral conveyor you mentioned. With my skills, this seems kind of difficult to implement for this particular situation.
Here’s a little more information about the model:
There is a conveyor that I have made parametric so that I can change the length and amount of the conveyors using the linear clone feature. Atm there are two frames, in and out, at the beginning of the set of conveyors and at the end. I would like to create as many in and out frames as there are conveyors and transform the frames to the beginning and the end of each conveyor. This is because there has to be an individual path in each conveyor.
you can also create paths in this script:
BEHAVIOURS
this is how you can create new behaviours in python
path = comp.createBehaviour(VC_ONEWAYPATH,‘Path’)
Hope this will help.
