Eeeeexcellent, awesome work Talvieno, thanks
HS, it seems you are pasting objects (cannons) on another object (ship) in Wings 3D. how do you do that? I know only a bridging, but that requires lot’s of work as everything must be first positioned correctly and tesselation of appropriate size and shape must be created.
Thanks for any hint!
Happy to help! Just make sure what you want to paste is saved as a separate file and use the merge option under 'File'.... Easy as that
You've also got the duplicate function once the model is in there, it'll duplicate it on any axis. I've also found a clever way to scale and rotate multiple part objects around the same point, just right click on the relevant option and you can select a point/edge/face to use. Makes resizing stuff much easier.
I am (only now) investigating this - as I can see, the "merge" allow to call a saved object within another object.
Then you have two independent objects - they are not actually "merged", but both in the same workspace.
This means that the placement (incl translation, scaling, rotation) must be made manually?
And then when it's ready, you can with "bridge" paste the shapes together as one.
I was hoping to have a function where I can select a shape, and then select one of its face and a face on another shape and it would automatically position correctly... Actually, my main hope was to be able to select an arbitrary number of faces, and automatically paste another shape on each of them in the appropriate plan. Would be a great way to make greebles...
Guess it would be too simple - or that I really should read the manual as I have problems to understand the rotation options beyond axis
