David, No, I wouldn't say I'd find it necessary.
When I put together the pdf I thought (in the case of an exploding a box) some may want the individual components results to display differently as direct output. That could still easily be done with an 'attach' color component just like for meshes. Don't let me distract you with too much talk of colors since I know that's farther down the list. taz On Sep 29, 11:37 am, David Rutten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Taz, Visose, > > that indeed sounds like an easy fix.
