Thanks for the reply. 1. I have played around a little bit with it. It's a very powerful tool for selecting elements with in solids, but doesn't work at all with components. It would be nice if that selection tool would find attributes of a compone…

Hi Dennis, 1. Did you notice the selection tab under the component tree? You might want to play around with that one and see what it can do for you. 4. You can move any direction you like, but you need to use the move tool. I know Cinema4D as quit…

As a drawing is always referring to a certain component, it will by default include everything within the component. It would be possible, though, to create one more drawing and hide those elements not needed for the purpose. If you go on with your…

Thanks for the reply. 1. This worked. Although I would like to see something similar to Rhino's selection filter. Where you can filter out certain elements before you draw a selection box. For instance if I wanted to just select components it would…

Hmmm... I could not find any anomalities in SC 2010 so far. I think the hierarchy driven alignment preferences have always been ab bit ugly. I'd prefer if the alignment direction would be defined by the sequence of selection. The object selected fir…

In former versions I did not have any problems with it. But with V.2010 it is unpredictable. I agree with you Martin that the anchor constraint wil work but it is extra mouseclicks and I do not believe this is the way it is supposed to be.

These are the choices you have, no depth. Never heard of that one, though. Martin

1. right click on model -> select -> component/body/face 2. no, except they are all inside one big component. 3. No, unfortunately, except for mirrored ones, as the mirror plane will appear as you select them. 4. by adjusting the move handle so as t…

I don't think there is a setting. You can use the anchor constraint to prevent one component from moving, though. I f you don't specify anything, the lower in hierarchy component will always move towards the higher (=closer to root) component. So, b…
