    Wrapping up scripts  and need to create some placeholder cakes that have durations longer than 120 seconds.

     

    ex:1.5″ 150.00s 0.20 PFT 225 Shot Multi-Color Peony To Crackling w/ Tail Z Shape (15 Rows)

     

    The duration in outputs does not respect the 150s and changes it to 120s

     

    Running latest version (2023.06.06-66c3a5b82)

    Hi NEC,

     

    thanks for posting this question also in the forum. At the moment cakes are limited to 120 seconds. A workaround may be to create als a 30 sekond dummy and than chain these two cakes in the script.

     

    Hope that helps

    Dirk

    Thanks for the info. For now I’m leaving the 120s placeholder so I at least get the labels.

     

    That said, will the maximum cake duration eventually get extended?  Some of  the display cakes I have (and am writing simulations for) are longer than 120 seconds and breaking them apart is more work than I want to do 🙂

    Hi NEC, I completely understand the usefulness of being able to make a cake that is longer than 120s. We don’t have a specific plan or any kind of timeline for increasing the maximum cake duration, but I am happy to add it to our development list as a feature request.
