Also, if you want to select the entire cube, why not go into object-selection? or select one face and Grow Selection (which expands the selection to the edges)
I'm trying to use this instead of Maya as I've heard such good things. Frustration is creeping in though. How, when in area selection, do you select the components behind? Say a cube, you area select over it all - it won't select the back components.
I believe there's an option for "Select Thru" - sounds like you'd be better off assigning that as your main selection method (like on left mouse button or whatever) - I think it defaults to "Select Visible".
it's set to left mouse button for select visible, middle mouse button for select through. You really should open up the mouse settings and take a look tho /goes back to lurking
Roo: you can choose between rotating around selection or around a framed selection. I haven't tried the latter yet, as i've always used (and liked) rotating around the selection. So i don't think that covers what you're asking for, but please do start a feature request for it, chances are you're not alone in wanting it.…
by the way does anyone know if its possible now to rotate around a point in space (camera target) like max/maya or are you still limited to rotating around an object/selection? that really bugged me sometimes
[ QUOTE ] Asthane: have they made it so hiding the manipulator actually turns it off? Just making it transparent really wasn't doing it for me, the issues with selecting were driving me crazy. I'll have a go at your setup one of these days [/ QUOTE ] Both the Show Manipulator toggle and the No Manipulator tool seem to work…
Yeah. It's been replaced by an Nevercenter message now though, so i assume they patched the forum. Asthane: have they made it so hiding the manipulator actually turns it off?
