Geometry Pattern Option in Linear Pattern Feature ????
Geometry Pattern Option in Linear Pattern Feature ????
(OP)
Could anybody explain better way than SW Help what Geometry Pattern Option in Linear Pattern Feature means?
I do not the SW Help description below.
"Geometry pattern. Creates the pattern using only the geometry (faces and edges) of the features, rather than patterning and solving each instance of the features."
Can anybody give me a simple example with this option on and off?
Thank you very much.

I've also seen some patterns not work with geometry pattern checked, and I am not sure why.

It's very weird, I have a simple cut thru which is later polpulated over the area with Linear Pattern in two directions.
When the Geometry Pattern is not checked I get a zero thickness triangular shaped plane on the top of some of the patterned cuts, with Geometry Pattern checked, everything is OK, very weird.
