Hi,
I was afraid you guys would think this is a stupid request.
But I just have a funny situation. I am using a thickly populated ring, in order to precisely align my rings with objects in space. Making the ring very dence with fake stones allows me to see very clearly where the rings are in relation to other objects (I may or may not need it so dense for rendering, not clear to me yet).
But the result is that I cant move at all in the 3D preview window.
I was curious if it could be possible to just click the population off and on? So it did not have to repopulate, Sorta like the D key, but where the node is not tuned off, just the stones, leaving full access.
The problem with the D key in this, is that yes it turns off the stones and frees me to move in the preview window, but it also turns of the area box for the stones.
I needs to be able to tilt and turn the rings into certain positions relative to other objects, and thats very hard to get right without the stones to see by.
