Hi Mike, I have two suggestions for a future version of Imagine. 1. Often when working in the detail editor I'm "zoomed in" a lot to work on some points or edges. After that I want to see the result by watching the whole object. Now I have to zoom out several times, center the object, zoom in a little again to have the object good in the view windows. It would be cool if there was a button (or command) that does all this automatically. Bring the whole object fit to the view and center it. 2. Spline interpolation is very cool and makes all kind of transitions really smooth. But they can also be tricky. It is hard to control the splines since you can't see them. Sometimes they make a bow that goes over the position of the key frames which can be a good effect, but sometimes is not wanted. The best would be if it was possible not only to see the splines, but if it was also possible to edit them. Just like in the Spline Editor with control arms going out of each key frame (knot). Ok ok I know this is probably not easy to do, but it would give you so much control. -David

But you can re-center the currently selected object by pressing R-alt+z. It's not a total solution, and it doesn't zoom out to show the entire object. I'm just mentioning it in case it got by you. A command such as the one you mentioned would be nice to have as a user gadget. -GreG

Yep, a button would be great. I already have two rows (full!) in the detail editor. <g> -David
