  18. Subject: Creating Standin objects
  19.  
  20. I'm trying to write a Modeler AREXX macro that would create
  21. "stand-in" objects--i.e. simplified objects to use in Layout
  22. to get better preview performance.
  23.  
  24. My first approach has been to try to use the boolean operators
  25. to remove small chunks  of the original object.  However, due
  26. to the speed of the boolean operators, this is not practical.
  27.  
  28. Anybody got any ideas?
  29.  
  30. (The next step is to automatically create the scene file that
  31. the stand-ins will "act" in.)
