Close, propbeanie.. the other case of doing that, is taking that mushy paper, shooting it out of said bic pen (that's been gutted, of course.. ) & seeing just how many of them mush balls you can get to stick & stay where you shoot them.. be it on a wall, a ceiling.. wherever...

Though, in this case.. KM.. is what My Grand Dad referred to, with being in meetings, (He did QA with Liquid Carbonics & General Dynamic's.. He was even on the QA team overseeing the construction team that built the 'Nautilus', Our 1st nuke sub.) of throwing out ideas, to resolve problems or issues... aka spitballin'.. seeing what solution stuck & fixed or resolved an issue.

aka creative brainstorming

is this what you are trying to describe?

Yeah, KM..

& with this reply am going to back off, as I don't want to derail the intent of the thread..

This works, however I'm having trouble making it invisible. Advice?

I had to have a consult with my consultant... 'cause I forgot how... lol - but s7rikeback says:



Now, if that's correct, it's my idea. If it's wrong, it's his idea... lol

Yeah I was aware of that method PB, perhaps that might have to be the road we take as a work around for the time being. Might have to do two nodes of the hull model. One that is invisible and has the geometry to enable a deeper radio depth, and another as a sub node that displays a normal hull model.


Otherwise, a method of making certain geometry invisible I think would work better if possible.

Ah well, sorry.
