- be able to hide triangle/quads sides
- show all condlines (without control points except if selected)
Another wish: be able to close a file, in order to allow to modify it externally. At the moment it seems you need to close LDPE, and since its startup is rather lengthy...
Philo, you need to play around with the right mouse-button in the 3D view :-)
Have a look at the "View Actions" and the "Render Mode" settings, those offer a lot of possibilities:
ad 1: I am not sure if this is what you meant, but you can un-tick "View Actions" -> "Mesh Lines"
ad 2: Use "Render Mode" -> "Special Con. Line Mode" you will see all the Cond Line as you wish.
ad 3: I tried the following:
- Open the project and open a file in 3D view
- Open the file also in LDDP
- Add a line in LDDP (and save)
- Open the File in the LDPE Text Editor
-> New line is now visible in 3D View as well
- make changes again in LDDP (and try to save, this will nownot work)
- Close the file in the LDPE Text Editor
- make changes again in LDDP (and try to save, this time it works)
- you can open it in LDPE Text Editor again and you see the changes there
unfortunately youget no prompt in LDPE if therre were external changes but it looks you can do it as long as the file is closed in the Text Editor of LDPE.
