VisGroups II

Page 5

The End Of The Line

Skipping right along, I've Visgrouped all the rest of the rooms and added all the hallways into one Visgroup called (Du-uH!) hallway.

Now lets take a look at Visgroups in action.

Here's the Filter control dialog box with only the hallways enabled. Just click to the left of the name and a little pointing finger (I was told that's what it is) appears. Click Apply and that Visgroup and that Visgroup alone appears on the screen.

Here's a zoomed out screenshot in the XY View:

Now, hitting the Show all visgroups button gives us this:

That's pretty much all there is to it.

What? What's the Mark button for?

I dunno.

Just kidding. :)

OK, say you want to move or copy a Visgroup. Instead of having to select everything all over again - just hit the Mark button and here's what happens:

I only had room2 enabled when I did this. The procedure is:

1. Enable the Visgroup (click next to the name and hit Apply)

2. Click Mark

Clicking Mark again will not remove the selection - so don't waste your time. Clicking outside the area in any of the X Views will unselect the Visgroup.

Now, that's really all!

REALLY!
