Create a guard ring that intersects

vvangap

Hi,

   I have a skill script that can create a guard ring.I can use the mouse to select the points to place the guard ring, but I cannot make that guard ring intersect. Is there any workaround for that, please let me know.  

I am using rodCreatePath, function in my script to create it.

 

Thanks

Vikram

    Hi Vikram,

    With a ROD MPP (rodCreatePath - multi-part path) guard ring you should be able to butt the two ends together so that they form a continuous loop without overlapping and intersecting.  For a MPP the master material cannot overlap (if I remember correctly), so it must abut or not meet at all, but I think that the other layers can overlap.

    Hopefully this will help you.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
