Eric/Andrew,

Basecamp 2012

Chris,

Thank you for the names: I "met" several people that I didn't get a chance to meet while there.

my requests.

move OBJ Import / Export to the Free Edition. since OBJ is the most common denominator for 3D interchange it makes more sense and will increase SU's usage all round.

I find OBJ export, but I don't find OBJ Importin SU8 Pro. Am I missing something basic?

Mateo: My son visited Dubrovnik when he was stationed in Iraq. I can see from your picture that it is as beautiful as he said it was!

I'll absolutely be there!!
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.

I don't drink, so I hope I won't be too much of an anchor on the festivities.

I'm not going to Basecamp...

Bummer

I have a real need for something very similar to bagatelo's request.

I have a need that doesn't seem to fit "Select by Material" or "Material Replacer" or "Repaint" or "GlobalMaterialChange".

In the development of my major models I was not very consistent with color application. As I've learned more and have gotten much more involved with rendering (TwiLight originally and now Thea) the actual colors are very important.

What I would like to be able to do is select a material/color that is in the model from the materials dialog (or something like bagatelo's idea) and then be able to select all objects that have that color/material. Then I need to be able to isolate them so I can see what's been selected, and, finally, with all of these selected, I can change their color. But I need to know which objects, groups, components are that color so I don't accidentally change one that I don't want changed.

Does anyone have an idea of how to do this or even if it could be done?

Just came across this wonderful and amazing new tool.
I'm pretty much speechless: incredible

This opens up soooo many possibilities. Thank you for this great tool

In the Help for SU7 it discusses three icons in the Layers Dialog Box:
Visibility Button
Lock Button
Share Button

But the Dialog Box displayed is not what you get in SU7

What am I missing?

What has all of this to do with "Looking Ahead to SU 8"

Is there a ruby that will randomly distribute components/groups to avoid the central clustering of Component Sprayer?

Is there a new version of #extrusionToolbar.rb that shows the fourth icon?
Mine is dated 1/19/2010.

I have:
extrudeEdgesByVector.rb
extrudeEdgesByRails.rb
extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb
extrudeEdgesByLathe.rb

I get the two icons on the right (EEbR and EEbV), but what are the next two?

Dave, I think it is because there are a number of versions right throughout the thread..... I too had trouble. So much so, i removed it all together.....

I thought the ground rule was to put the latest version on the first page of the thread.

Got it.

Click no for all pop-ups. I've been doing that and smoothing after it's all done.

Thanks, TIG: I may have "broken the code" another way (random luck?)

I lowered the segment count to 20 in the rails. The only problem I can see is the "puckering" at the front end.
The wings and tail surface were also made with EEbR.

The nose piece was made with another great ruby: Soap Skin Bubble.

I made the more complete model some time ago by "brute force": note how much smoother the latest is.
