Greetings everybody. long time reader first time poster.
here's my issue: I have a 3-D cockpit object from a payware author.
what I want to accomplish is moving the seat objects back away from the
control panel so my view isn't so smushed against the windshield!
here's the problem: normally when I want to take a look under a surface I
simply highlight the surface and then select " hide selected" button.
however the problem I am having is the entire object, seats and everything
disapear when I try this method. I have tried in all 4 modes. from vertex to full object.
including surface mode ( which I expected to work in the first place)
I found a workaround using the " remove surface" button, however this seemed counterproductive because after 1.5 hours of selecting the seats and getting them moved just so, I found myself unable to recover the surfaces of the interior
of my 3-d virtual cockpit.
I guess what I want to know is, what other methods for hiding just a section of
surface are available?( temporarily) Since simply selecting " hide selected"
is hiding nearly the entire object despite only some surfaces being selected.
thanks in advance! _ Crash
