Orthofoam lattice doesn't work with planar points

Issue:

I tried to create an Orthofoam lattice with all of my points on the same plane, but when the block runs, there is no visible result. 

Applies to:

  • Lattices
  • Orthofoam Lattice

Cause:

This occurs when you use planar points in an Orthofoam Lattice Body (beta) or Orthofoam Lattice block. The block runs, but it builds a lattice with zero beams.

Solution:

Add in a point that is off the plane of the other points to create an Orthofoam lattice with more beams.
