Problem

Description:

guides go haywire when topology based is not checked. When topology based is checked and more modifiers are added to the stack (symmetry, edit guides) eventually the guides go haywire

Steps to Reproduce:

baked guides, select dstribution surface, turn off topology based

This option in Baked Guides needs to be used if you used the Topology Based option in Hair from Guides before collapsing/baking the guides. A mis-match in the options will cause the effect you see.

the option is aways set to topology based, yet once I add a symmetry modifier I get the result on the right

I'm getting the same messed up guides when I use the symmetry modifier. guides from surface>edit guides>symmetry

Hi Magilla,

There was a bug in the Symmetry modifier causing this problem, this was a few builds ago and we fixed it. Please download and install the latest nightly.
