Michael,
I’m not quite sure what you want to accomplish but I think the tutorial below will be helpful although at first glance it may seem to be related to something else.

Hi David,
it’s supposed you are export to stl format before printing. Is the curvature problem also present in the stl file or does it only appear when printing? If the case the first, then there must be something in the cinema 4d file. If it is the second, then you could open the stl file in other program than cinema 4d, If you find everything is fine, save the file in the other program and try printing again, you could test a small part. If the problem persists, then there must be a problem with the printer or at least the print settings. I think that through these steps you could make sure where is the problem. I hope this will be useful to you.

Hi David,
Cinema 4D is not designed to be a CAD drawing tool as much as it is a modeling and rendering that transforms ideas into visual phenomena, for that purpose it is sufficient to be the rapports between the components of the scene proportional and the dimensions don’t need to be set in millimeters, so this was not at the top of the priorities of the program developers. However, there are ways to know the size of standard objects after making them editable by using points or using Quantize options. I tried to explain in the screen recording below. I hope this is useful to you.

I’m working on the 2024.3.2 version, but I think I figured out where the problem is, it seems you didn’t set the anchor point in the Rope tag, let’s go back to the “splinerope12” file and make the tracer editible then set the anchor point, you’ll notice the point color turned purple as in the screen recording below, it should work for you this time. let me know what you come up with.

I opened your file and it worked fine, it seems that some simulation tags are not working between my version and your version due to possible updates related to that, I suggest that you clear the link and then create it again and if that does not work then delete the connector tag and the cloth tag (also the rope one if you want to make sure) and then create a new tag on your version with the same settings as before, this should work if there is no bug in your version.

Happy this is what you want, it looks like you need to make the Tracer editable by clicking on it and then press C so that the tracer becomes a Spline as in the screen recording attached, about the file, with pleasure! I’ve attached it for you below, let me know if the file works on your version.
-
Thanks for the clarification! You could use the tracer to get the curving you want. I’ve put a screen recording below explaining how to do this. Also, you could add the cloth tag to the sweep and adjust the settings later if you want a more fluid effect. I hope this helps you.

Hi Anne-jan,
It may be that the spline you are using on the rope only has two points, you need several points and preferably evenly spaced to get a perfect simulation of the rope when exposed to the wind or turbulence effect, I have put a screen recording below to explain how to do this, I hope this helps you.

If you mean avoiding re-weighing the mesh when changing the entire clothes, I don’t think that’s possible.

Hi David,
For your first question, I have put a screen recording below of how to do it (let me know if this is what you are looking for). For the second question, what is recorded from the data in the Stl file and thus read by the 3d printer is the spatial data of the points, edges, and polygons in the mesh, so the displacement and the bump that applies by the texture to the object you will not find any trace of it the Stl file because it is an appearance effect and has no real impact on the mesh data, so if you want such effect to appear in 3D printing, it must be intervened on the object through modeling, I hope this is useful to you.
