How do you handle precise modeling in workspace // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by slent // Jun 15, 2007, 3:43pm slent Total Posts: 24 I have been having a lot of crash problems with 7.5 in the model view while point editing. So, it was suggested that I switch to workspace instead. My question is - how do you do modeling that requires use of blueprints in workspace. All of the demos in the manual are artsy free form characters. Without the availability of things like layers, it seems like workspace is limited to this type of modeling ... or am I missing something?

Post by slent // Jun 16, 2007, 9:00am slent Total Posts: 24 Point snapping is not the issue. The problem is, when I set up three views of a blueprint to use as a guide to model from, I am constantly inadvertantly selecting those guides when I want to select the object I am modelling. In Model view that isn't a problem because I put them on separate layers and then lock the layers. Is there a way to achieve that same result in workspace?

Right click the Matrix and select Expand as shown. Post by slent // Jun 16, 2007, 9:34am slent Total Posts: 24 Thanks Trueblue. That handles half of the problem ... at least I won't accidently move them out of position. Now if I could just lock them so that they couldn't be selected.

But you could ask stan here: http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=1581 (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=1581) Post by slent // Jun 16, 2007, 10:22am slent Total Posts: 24 Thanks again trueBlue. I've downloaded the files and sent an inquiry to Stan. I hope this is the solution.
