  Set first vertex

  Posted by Thomas Gabrielsen on December 14, 2005 at 5:36 pm

  I have several open masks with Stroke effect and I also use this masks to create a motion paths. To decide the direction of the motion path I use the “Set first vertex” feature, but now it has started to behave very strange. As I said, this masks are not closed and are parts of a grid and I want the animation to go in a spesific direction. So when I select a vertex and choose “Set first vertex” it creates a connection between this vertex and the vertex in the other end and drops the connection to the closest one … oh heck, let me show you some screen shots. Here is the mask before I set the lowest vertex as the first: https://www.fildeling.no/filesharing/set_first_vertex/fig_01.jpg. Here is the mask after: https://www.fildeling.no/filesharing/set_first_vertex/fig_02.jpg

  I hope this makes sence. It’s hard to explain, and even harder for me to do it in a foreign language. 🙂

  Thanks,
  Thomas
