    If you change it does performance improve? Vector looks great in the viewport but it’s not ideal to work with it.

    Try my suggestions of softening and hiding the edges. You could also consider radiused edges instead of the hard square edges you have.

    @Rich-O-Brien said in Convert groups to components: For me the Entity Panel should be the portal to many actions related to your selection Wait.. aren't you actually describing that typical "inspector" panel featured in 99.9% of the 3d packages out there? @Rich-O-Brien said in Convert groups to components: I can dream.... Yeah.. keep dreaming

    It's to prevent wear and damage to the anodizing on the chair's axle tube. The lift is designed to be very generic and so it's not really an incompatibility thing. The lift is intended to pick the chair up by the 19mm aluminum cross tube on the backrest but that's not a real strong part to hang the entire weight of the chair from, especially on rough roads. I designed and printed some hooks to lift and support the weight of the chair by the axle tube. In the picture here https://flic.kr/p/2peh56W, there's some white foam tape that was used temporarily. It's not very durable, though.

    The ability to "isolate" and only view a given tag. Instead of having to toggle off the visibility of all other tags.

    Update on this post, I went out and upgraded my desktop to the unit mentioned above and I am still have the same issue with LO crashing. I had someone from tech support remote into my computer for an hour but he couldn't find the issue. I am working on projects that have been 4-5 years in the making so the model has gone through a number of SU upgrades. I did an experiment and created a new SU 2025 file and copied the base model over from the old file and created a new LO file and the problem seems to be solved (touch wood). I can now use the new graphics engine without LO or SU crashing. Along with this I changed my file location from OneDrive, which was slow and laggy, back to Dropbox. I know not ideal to have these files in the cloud but DB seems to work way better than OneDrive. So, SU2025 cant like older SU files, or at least that is what I am finding.

    Paint any colour on face Use the Edit tab for that colour to access the Match Colour on Screen [image: 1747395093149-940d929f-d534-4d97-8812-d4046e3520c5-image.png] Now the colour you painted will change to the sampled pixel colour.

    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. It went smoothly had to reinstall a couple of plugins. D5 Render doesn't have their sync app for 2025 yet. Other than that it's still those ugly post SU 2022 icons.

    @kennedyAZ Did you try switching Graphics Engines? [image: 1733309557466-d27978ad-db55-40a8-862f-d3a4d9feef05-image.png] I'd rule that out first as I've seen people with issues using the newer engine.
