Camera and clipping trouble (Film and Stage plugin)
-
I cant seem to delete the geometry (boxes) without deleting the camera. At the same time I cant deselect the camera without deselecting the boxes either. If I doubleclick the camera to enter the edit mode the boxes are locked in some way. Am I missing something obvious here?
Almost a little embarrasing now...
-
You need to enterthose groups (components?). Double click some of the visible geometry to enter the editing context.

I doubleclick the camera and obviously enter edit mode (seems like its edit group-mode). The huge box around it becomes stapled. Then I deselect the camera, but are not able to delete the boxes. To do that I have to select the camera again... And if I have to delete the camera theres obviosly no point to it...
You did it with the file I attached? Ill soon pay you to show me live via TeamViewer...

You do not delete the bounding box - every group or component has that box around.
Just delete whatever (mysterious geometry) is inside - except the camera itself. So once inside, select all > deselect the camera > delete whatever is left in the selection.
Then exit the group/component and see that bounding box suddenly shrink to human size.

Ok.
Seems like there nothing else but the camera inside. Nothing to delete, in other words. And the bounding box doesn't shrink...
Before doing anything: http://cl.ly/1f0E201E2p1H0K1m2h03
Edit mode (double clicking the camera): http://cl.ly/1f0E201E2p1H0K1m2h03
Still in edit mode. Deleted everything but the camera: http://cl.ly/0t1Q3x2009402P2E3Z1n
Exiting edit mode. Boudning box still there...: http://cl.ly/0t1Q3x2009402P2E3Z1n
I have to say again. Thanks for your help and patience...

Well, it was TIG who proceeded that way (I only believed him as usually).
I guess I'll have to look into it again.

I've looked into this a bit more for you...
It's not that straightforward BUT it is fixable...
There are two other hidden groups inside the camera's group, they are called 'frustrum_rays' [several guide-line rays along th edges of the view 'box'] and 'frustrum_faces' [the planes that make up the camera's view 'box']
These are on both on their own layers that are switched 'OFF'.
Use the 'Layer Browser' to switch them 'ON' and you'll see what I mean.
Select both of these layers in the Browser and use the '-' button to delete them - using the option to delete the layer's contents - this will remove the two groups.
See this screenshot...

OK guys, I did not sleep last night. Leaving now...
