Custom Subassembly--won't mirror correctly

[jameshitt]

I have a custom subassembly that does have the "Side" assigned to "Right", but when I mirror it, it doesn't mirror correctly. I do have a Decision node in the flow, so there are two conditions. It seems like it is jumping to the other condition when I mirror it, but I can't figure out why in Subassembly Composer.

For some reason the forum is not allowing me to attach the .pkt file.

Edit: .pkt file is now attached. Thanks, @Wojtek_Garczewski

Hi @jameshitt 

Try to ZIP your PKT or you may use WeTransfer.com

Looks like your custom PKT would be needed to narrow down the issue. 

Thanks,

Just giving this a bump in case I missed the normal crowd over the weekend. I will likely just make a right and left side subassembly as a workaround, but I'd still love to understand why it isn't mirroring correctly in the first place.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @jameshitt 

Thanks for subassembly. 

I checked on that, and I think I found the cause of the behavior. 

Subassembly works as you asked it to work, and behavior is driven by the decision you applied in the flowchart. 

AP1.Offset > AP2.Offset 
When you assign it to the left, your AP1 Offset values are negative. That's why AP1.Offset is smaller than AP2.Offset, which changes the decision to a false and different path in the flowchart. 
Please see:

To solve it you need work on absolute values, then the decision condition should look like : 

math.abs(AP1.Offset) > math.abs(AP2.Offset)

Please see:

Please note that Preview geometry should be set to Layout Mode. 
Layout Mode = how subassembly looks like in Assembly.
Roadway Mode = behavior of subassembly in Corridor based on targets etc.


Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Wojtek

I was starting to feel like it must be in the Decision expression. Thanks!
