Important

The Braid / Curl Builder depends heavily on the hiearchy and naming structure of the nodes and groups. Please keep the following in mind while using them:

Strand Guard

To avoid causing errors from unrecommanded behaviours, a guarding/warning system is implemented. If you see the red warning below, please stop what you are doing immediately, and clean up/undo if possible, whatever you just did.

Hiearchy

Do not change the hierarchy (moving nodes in/out of the main xgt_braid2_grp).

Duplicating

You can only re-use a curve from a braid layer:

• With a path curve selected, CTRL + D on the curve and then "Menu -> Clean Selected Curves"

Doing this will give you a cleaned up curve named as "xgtBraid2_cleaned_crv#" in outliner.

Scale

Please see Path Curve / Scale for notes on scale.
