I am a regular user of Abacus Flight Sim Design Studio and am looking to use AC3D to create objects I can use in other 3D packages (FSDS is particularly unhelpful at this). So far I can see a lot of similar methods between the 2 packages but a must have for me is the ability to selected vertices in an object and hide them so I can work on the unhidden vertices. For example, looking at a parallel cylinder from the y axis I would like to select a particular vertex in the top disk but not the paralled one underneath it. To do this in FSDS I would simply select the bottom vertices and hide them but still be able to see the top ones. I seem unable to do that in AC3D, it hides the whole object everytime. Am I missing something as this would seem to me to be a basic requirement? Many thanks

I'm not sure about actually hiding vertices, but at the very bottom left of the screen, there is a checkbox called Select Through. You can uncheck that and it should make it so you don't select the other vertices.

AC3D does not hide vertices (if you select a vertex, and hide or lock, it will hide or lock the entire object). The latest version of AC3D has a Hide surfaces button that will hide selected surfaces, that has been invaluable to me.

The surface hiding script has been released by Andy. Go to the scripts section for instructions and the file.
