Scattering Groups and Item selection - ER
« on: April 22, 2018, 05:13:08 PM »
Hi,
I`m using tip from https://www.itoosoft.com/tensecondstips/scattering-grouped-geometry?back=page%3D4
So, I have a group of table+chairs and FP for distribution. It will be nice if `Item sub-object level` selection could select and manipulate with whole Group item with single click, eg. Single click will select just single item and SHIFT+Click will select whole group (Ctrl/Alt remain +/- on selection) or to have some sort of selection option toolbar checkbox.
It will be also good to manipulate with those selection as a group. eg. Now I can`t see how to select one table group and rotate it for 45deg.


Best Regards
Dragan

Hi, Dragan.
I can only show You how to rotate selection 45deg- as this is default Max behavior:


Regarding group selection, I imagine it would not be simple thing to implement. Will pass that to development team.

Thank you Rokas, this is good tip also, since I`m modeling in different CAD and using Max just for rendering.
