Subject: The Modeler that Ate San Francisco
Sender: owner-lightwave-l@netcom.com
Precedence: bulk
Arrrgh!!! Yesterday I spent FOUR (count 'em, One-two-three-frickin' FOUR)
hours working on a model. It was a good model. It was a happy model. I
saved it every ten minutes like a good modeler should. I exported it into
Layout. I made lots fine tuned the surfaces. Oh! There was one misplaced
polygon. I went back into Modeler and imported my object. All was well. I
tweaked a point here and shifted a polygon there. I saved the object,
exported it and went into Layout. The object I saw looked like, well...
I've seen similar things in my toilet. I rushed back into Modeler and there
was my object. Somehow it had been transformed into a jumble of
disconnected poly-gones! I re-loaded my saved version. You know what... it
was also a tangled mass of points and polygons that only held the slightest
resemblance to my masterpiece.
Has this happened to anyone else? Has Modeler eaten your hard labor and
belched out a chewed up mass of polygons?
Carl
