Using the modeling mode inside of a choreography

[Kaijubait]

Hi guys,

I was in the q and a this weekend and tried to ask this question, but I don’t think I communicated it very well.

Attached below are scans off the tutorial I’m trying to follow. The main question is: How do I select modeling mode from inside the choreography? I can’t, it’s grayed out. What is bizarre is that somehow or other I got it to work briefly, I have no idea how…  I was testing things out, pressing a number of options at the top and all of the sudden it became selectable. I selected it and started building the cube as instructed, and when I turned my head (or whatever), it went back to being unelectable, and the cube I had drawn could not be selected… it was grayed out as well. I have tried building simple models and moving them into the choreography, but I can neither do that nor cut and paste into the chor.

I wonder if my software is just whack? It is pretty old.

Also, please refresh me on how to switch to a camera view from within the choreography.

Thanks -

- Mike

On the camera question... press 1 on the numeric keypad.

The numeric keypad is the best way to quickly navigate among the camera and orthogonal views.

If you don't have a numeric keypad on your keyboard, use this tutorial to make yourself an onscreen toolbar..

On the Modeling Mode problem I'm still uncertain why that is not working for you. If you're on v16 that should not be a problem.
