    3.5 Update output geometry option for groups

    by jemthemisfit » Tue Aug 14, 2018 3:07 pm

    Hey Hey, Just getting into 3.5 and its really great thanks!

    For an upcoming project I will have a lot of geometry for a stage design that will tour. At each tour stop I will need to re tweak the mapping and it would be awesome to have an option to update only the output geometry for a whole group, rather than having to dive into the drop down menu and select Output Geometry for each individual triangle - could be 50 -100 Tri's.
    Its already amazing that you can select multiple cues and apply the changes to them all simultaneously so being able to select the group and hit update output geometry would make this an even easier process.
    Thanks :-)

    I would put in a second for this feature. I use MadMapper as part of the light show for a traveling musician and have to set up the geometry every night and any way to make it quicker with the use of Cues & Scenes would be very much appreciated.

    It is actually possible: two solutions:

    1- using Edit Cues mode:
    - adjust all your geometry
    - select all scenes / cues containing the geometry to be updated
    - select all the surfaces to be updated (or select the parent group containing all surface, it's like selecting all surfaces below)
    - enter "edit cues" mode (button "Edit" in cues toolbar or menu Cues / Edit)
    - in the surface property area, press the "Output Geometry" button

    2- using the Cue Inspector
    - adjust all your geometry
    - select all scenes / cues containing the geometry to be updated
    - open cue inspector, in the search field enter "Output Geometry" (now only "output geometry" attributes are accessible in the inspector)
    - select the surface group containing all surfaces you want to update geometry (now the right part is for editing all "output geometry" for all surfaces below this group)
    - press "Update from current values"

    Let me know if it's clear.

    This method DOES NOT work for 4.0.8
    In fact it seems to be impossible to update any output geometry.
