Default A couple questions about grouping, and etc.

Ok, I would like to start off saying I am a noob. Eheh. Anyways, I am making a map for a game I am creating. Anyways, on the railing in this picture of the map http://pntbalg.shackspace.com/ac3d-jail.jpg I am trying to make it as even as possible. Actualy, I would like all the bars to be even. How would I figure out how to make all the bars sysmetric, without having to manualy bring them back into place as good as I can. Second, how do I group the bars on the platform above the ladder? Wen I try to, it captures the Mesh in the background. Thanx in advance.

Get a copy of the .pdf documentation for AC3D and learn about Tools/Replicator.

That enables you to make exact copies of items like bars, and arrange them at set intervals you assign. Makes short work of repetitive detail work like that.

Well, not realy other programs, but im going to use plib to do all my sound, graphics, and etc. (I believe I understood it right) So hopefully all these headaches will C++ will make up when I use plib. Whats that the answer you were looking for?

Steve's Portable Game Library. You can check it out here... plib.sourceforge.net "PLIB includes sound effects, music, a complete 3D engine, font rendering, a simple Windowing library, a game scripting language, a GUI, networking, 3D math library and a collection of handy utility functions. All are 100% portable across nearly all modern computing platforms. What's more, it's all available on line - and completely free. Each library component is fairly independent of the others - so if you want to use SDL, GTK, GLUT, or FLTK instead of PLIB's 'PW' windowing library, you can." Thats what it says on the web site. I like it.
