cameron	so I figured that the strands have to be selected for this to work - but then the first section of the strand up to the first tick is usually not affected in a predictable or desirable way. Using auto is a little more predictable but it still has the section up to the first tick laying flat or mangled in some weird orientation.

Michael McCarthy	Howdy Cameron, On testing this we were not able to reproduce your issue. Using Push Away or auto seams to work ok. Could you provide a simple scene with some steps to reproduce what your seeing please? Thanks Michael

cameron	Here are a couple of clips that demonstrate this feature is clearly broken It does not work at all on guides generated from splines and works poorly with regular guides http://web.aanet.com.au/SubZero/files/PushAway.mp4 http://web.aanet.com.au/SubZero/files/PushAway2.mp4

EPHERE	Thank you for posting the videos, they were helpful. In the first video the push away button didn't work because it will ony push away the selected strands. I have already modified this to push everything away for the future. In the second video, since the strands are selected, it is pushing them away the distance which you specified. So the feature is working correctly, I would just suggest reducing the distance to a smaller value so that the pushing out is not as dramatic. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.)
