Adrian,

 

I'ts ok mate I can relate......it's easy to drop a line here for a quick answer. Especially when your manual is not about or for some missing. I'm not sure if this place is really set up for beginners. I may be wrong but it seems that way. kinda weird when you think that we all had to start somewhere.

 

Still it does pay to read up......instead of reading your Steven King Books :p get your head stuck into the C4D Manual. Although I must say I really love the interaction that a post forum can offer. I think most do. :)

 

 

Life is like a gearbox......we all had to pass thru 2nd to get to 3rd. ;)

I've had some beginner questions, too, and appreciate the help I've recieved from veterans. Yes, this is a forum for professionals, but not to the exclusion of beginners, be they new to the field or just new to the software (like me).

 

The manuals are only so good--I'm trying to figure out how to isolate objects that I must work on without having to turn everything else off--can't find anything in the manuals (yet) --manuals that are as big as those Stephen King books. Even when objects (under nulls) are turned OFF, they still get selected when choosing by materal tag. That makes no sense.

 

I want to know if a tag put on object is applied to its children. Looking in 'tags' does not answer this, neither does 'null objects'. I guess I'll look up 'children' and hope the answer is there.

When I am working on big files there are 2 ways I work,

1 is to cut and past the object I am working on into a new Temporary document that is saved to the same folder as my main job (to ref the tex folder).

2 put all objects into a Null and switch that off, and just drag the needed object out of the Null.

 

Tags are generally applied to children, unless you have an object with a selection tag on or a tag on any child object, this will override the Parent tag.

Also a phong tag will need to be copied to the children.

Are you saying you cannot select one item, say a single house in a neighborhood, and rightclick>isolate (or equivelent) to work on just that without seeing or effecting the rest of the file? Having to use another file seems barbaric. Also, as I said, I was trying to replace a material on one 'layer' (grouped under a null) since it ended up incorrectly sharing the material with objects on other 'layers'. Turning all but the one null OFF and select by material/tag and I see red selection indicators for that material on even the OFF objects. That shouldn't be, they are off.

 

I suppose I could throw 'protection' tag on everything, but if one tag on the parent null does not get down to the children its several steps to copy down, then select duplicates and delete later. Oh, and the 'select duplicate tags' does not seem to stick to a single texture tag, it will select ANY texture tag, making it useless to quickly select all polygons with a certain material under one null.

the select by texture does select all tags that have that texture on. And I do not see it as barbaric to have 2 files open at once, It makes it a lot quicker, navigating, texturing and creating any selections off the polygon.

 

It would be good to have a function, like you have for selection sets, either to hide un-selected or hide selected, I am unaware of one that relates to objects as rather than polygon selections.

 

I suppose it comes down to ways of working .

If it was me I would take the Parent and all its children into a new doc, Material select, and adjust accordingly.

 

What do you mean by ...." or effecting the rest of the file?"

 

I do not use protection tags very much, but you can 'copy tag to children' This only stops movement and scaling

'select duplicate tags' do you mean "select Identical children tags"? That gets me a bit too, it just mean the bass tag type, Tex or Phong etc weter it is switched on or off.
