Bolt models together

[itsfja]

Frequently, models are composed of several basic models. An example would be the Boscoyo 180 Mini tree and star.

This is perfectly simple to model using New Tree, and New Star.

I would wish to request that having built these two (perhaps more) models, and aligned them, that they then be selectable (Shift left mouse) and "bolted together" creating a ?custom?/?Super? Model, that can be manipulated as a single item, rather than forget to use cut and paste, followed by one to many redo's with attendant frustration.

I understand the desire for this but it wont be trivial to implement. Have you tried locking models to minimise the accidental moving of them.

Keith, I suspected it would be more than tricky to create a composite class. I'm afraid, the cock ups tend to be poorly executed deliberate acts. Would it be slightly simpler to enable the automagical creation of a custom model from a collection of primitive models perhaps? Regards, Francis

Merging into a custom model is a pretty poor option. Custom models have resolution issues that make them really unsuitable.

There have been a couple of the same requests.
