Turning off proxy
-
Just found out that the proxy can quite easy manuel be moved to a specific layer.
-
wHAT Do you mean by turning off proxy?
-
Well if yoi have some grouped geometry and you try to use subd and smoothon the group it will create a proxy and some smoothed geometry. Obviously for the final result you only want the subd'd geometry and not the proxy, but it can be useful to keep the proxy for manipulating the subd'd geometry later.

Would you mind telling the rest of us how to do it?
-
Open the group (containing the proxy and subsurf), triple click the proxy, right click->entity info->layer.
Thats how i do it, anyway.
-
But, if one modify the proxy, then one have to move the proxy again....
-
you can just turn the layer back on, no need to move any geometry.
-
If you modify the Proxy, you have to move it to the other layer again, but it might not bee a big problem. I haven't actuealy not played around with this Ruby that mutch
-
Are you sure? i dont have to move it back to another layer when i edit it...
-
how do you all the thing with the layers? i don't get all dat
-
Well to summarise layers in a paragraph:
Layers only control the visibility of geometry, nothing else. To create a new layer go window->layers then click the littly plus sign. To move things to a different layer, select the stuff you want to move, right click->entity info. And the golden rule of layers: only draw on layer 0, keep groups/components on other layers.
Thats all their is to it really.

Thx alot remus

Thanks. Works great.

I am still having trouble with this. . .I know how to select one or the other, but it seems that moving one group to another layer is no help. It still hides both the Subsurf and the proxy. Anyone else having this trouble?
-
David,it works just like Remus described.(Thank you remus for that useful hint).
Are you sure you didn't select the subsurface instead of the proxy?By the way, if needed, the subsurface itself can also very easily be hidden. Just open the 'outliner' panel and there you will see it as a part of a group. right click 'subsurface' and hide.

Thanks Biebel. I will pay more attention to that. I thought I was following the direction of the post, but . .. .alas. . ..
Try try again.
