What do I have to do with TS? Post by johnhoward // Sep 18, 2008, 10:11am johnhoward Total Posts: 231 You can group them together so they can be selected and worked on as a single object. Use "encapulate" (Chaper 2, p103). The advantage is that you can open the object up in the Link Editor and work on the separate parts - or even ungroup them later if necessary. Or, you can make them into a true single object using "boolean union". Chapter 3, p145 discusses both. Post by trueBlue // Sep 18, 2008, 10:18am trueBlue Total Posts: 1761 1.) Select both objects and then 3D Encapsulate both of them together. 2.) Or connect the Cylinder's OwnerMatrix to the Box's WldMatrix.

"Autofit" doesn't sound like a glue tool to me, but a positioning tool? Thanks! Tom Post by GMS0012 // Sep 19, 2008, 5:51am GMS0012 Total Posts: 3 yes. i mean something like this... Post by master_rigel2 // Oct 18, 2008, 2:36am master_rigel2 Total Posts: 34 I'm not sure if this thread is still being followed, but! I did find out the details. The snapping tools of truespace can be found in the modeling view. The snapping aspects of the objects are defined by whether or not snapping is turned on or off. For more information, you can find it here, in the caligari manual 4.9.12 Magnetic Tool (Sticky Tool)
