Dovetail problem

Post by cconway »

Hello, I'm hoping someone might be able to telling me why I keep having this issue. Every time I go to use the Dovetail Gadget the pins and tails on the right hand side are backwards. I have put a picture up to show what I mean. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to change the start point on the vector where they come out backwards. Go into node edit mode (Press N), click on the vector, note which end has the green square on it, hover the mouse over the black square at the other end of the vector and press P to change it to the start mode. Press N to exit node mode and re-run the gadget.
