have just started playing with JED, and can hardly wait till the next version is out (soon I hope). I continue to have problems with layers. Anytime i insert an object, such as a light or thing, it is automatically assigned as -100 on layers. If i manually change it to 0, it works ok but i can't next and precede through the objects (N and P). I have to repeatedly double click on each object. What are layers for, can't seem to get them to work. Are they for sectors too?
BTW, I have had problems editing in the "edge on" view. If i want to reduce the height of a cleave, i have to go into an isometric view. Otherwise, the vertices movement commands are ignored. I can try to drag them all day to no avail, but as soon as i go to even a slight bit non-edge on, i can move the veritices. This is in contrast to the directions in the otherwise excellent tutor.
Also, I am trying to creat a BIG pillar in the middle of a big room. I have cleaved to my hearts content, but have problems making the cleave lines i don't want (such as those that run from the sides of the pillar to the walls of the room) transparent. How do you do this? This is hard to explain, so just take it at what you think i mean.
Any help would be appreciated,
Keep up the great work........
