Issue:

I've distorted my TPMS and the thickness isn't constant after I've distorted it. 

Applies to:

• Varying cell size
• Warping
• Remapping

Cause:

We are currently working on fixing this issue. 

Solution:

Method 1: When building your TPMS, try this workflow:

• • Set the Walled TPMS to 0 thickness
  • Add a Remap Field block
    • Input the TPMS block 
    • Set X: X
    • Set Y: Y
    • Set Z: Z
  • Add a Thicken Body block
    • Input the Remap Field block
    • Set your thickness value

This should allow the TPMS to have a constant thickness.

Method 2: Normalize the Field of the TPMS by using the Custom Block, Normalize Field. This block is attached below. 

• • Add a Walled TPMS block and set your values (including thickness)
  • Add the Normalize Field block (import it first)
    • Input the Walled TPMS
  • Add a Set Field Bounding Box
    • Take the bounding box chip from the Walled TPMS block and insert it into the Bounding Box input
