MCG Stacker issues

OBlastradiusO

Im having trouble with the MCG modifier "Stacker MCG". Im working on a modular building set and it seems like the walls with the "Stacker MCG" modifier dont line up properly whenever I create the duplicates. The two walls slightly overlap or create gaps and dont snap edge to edge. The original walls are XFormed as well and the walls were manually snapped edge to edge as they should.

Any help?

I can take a look. What version of Max are you running?

Try Mesh Mixer included in here: areadownloads.autodesk.com/wdm/3dsmax/mcg-2018-samples.zip

When you check your original mesh are you snapping your duplicate object to the verts or to the grid?

Are the edge verts of your mesh and the pivot, snapped perfectly on the grid? You probably want to type in their position manually. I notice I have issues with grid snap sometimes and things look to be on the grid but they aren't and I have to type in the values to get them mathematically perfect.

I figured it out. The stacker tool works using the bounding boxes. Some of my edges were not fully straight or had geo step outside of some edges and that why I was getting those gaps. I fixed those problem now it works. My only problem with this tool is I wish it worked using the vertex so it can snap to edges one to one. Thanks for the help anyways guys.
