I've been unable to get "Hide Points" to work. Am I doing somY-Z7w wrong, or is this a bug in the .9 release? Steve

Steve, You have to first pick a mode such as "Pick Points." Then use Hide Points to draw a rectangle around the points you don't want to deal with. Don

I did that. Are you running the .int version or the .fp version of Imagine? I still can't get it to work. I messed around for about 10 minutes before giving up. Steve

Steve, I am using the .fp version. Did you select your object (turn it blue) first? Don

Yup sure did. Must just be a bug in the .int version. That is really kinda disturbing…I have a feeling there has been a lot more testing with the .fp version than there was with the .int version. (That's just a personal opinion though….I have no idea how they went about beta testing it). Steve

Steve, Hide Points works fine. First enter an Add or Pick Mode, then select Hide Points. You'll be able to drag a box around the area you wish to hide. You can select Hide Points as many times as necessary to see just the area you desire to edit. –Rick

It doesn't work for the .int version that was shipped. It may be fixed in the interum .int betas, but it doesn't work in the one I have. Maybe they fixed this in the versions they sent you? I loaded an object I created with Imagine. I selected the object, and then selected Pick Points. I then selected hide points. I drag the box around the points, and it doesn't hide the points. know I'm doing the right thing. I just wanted to mention this because I didn't want it to fall through the cracks in case the .int version was the only thing with this problem and no one reported it yet. Steve

Hmmm..looks like a line got dusted…..that last paragraph should say: I've tried this on an .fp version at a local store so I know I'm doing the right thing. I just wanted to mention this because I didn't want it to fall throught the cracks in case the .int version was the only thing with this problem and no one reported it yet. Steve

We got a call today about a problem going from Imagine to Sculpt, using our InterChange and the Turbo Silver module. The guy said he converted an object, and loaded it into Sculpt, but the object wouldn't render at all in Sculpt. The F10 statistics display in Sculpt said it had about 3000 faces… Have you tried this?

No, but I'll try it and get back to you about it. Steve
