If i do a bevel I cant modify it after dropping the tool... I just tried Modo briefly but that was the first downside I bumped into. I hope im doing something wrong :) — Sent from Mailbox<https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 5:22 PM, Sergio Mucino <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: P.S.

Are you particularly interested in something? Cheers! P.S. Start by going to your System/Preferences dialog, do perform the following... * In Defaults/Application, set Item Selection Type to Item. Set the Item Index Style to whatever you prefer to use (I use Item_2). * In Defaults/Auto-Save, set the Time Interval to whatever feels best for you (I've got it set to 15 minutes, but for more complex files I'd probably set it to 30), and the number of revisions to at least 3. * In the Display/OpenGL section, set Viewport Rotation/Trackball Rotation to Off (feel free to experiment with it on though... Some people like it, but I just felt like it forced me to drag the mouse more than I needed). * In the Input/Remapping section, set the Mouse Input Presets to Softimage XSI (I personally use the Maya preset, only because that's what I've used for a while now in many applications, including Softimage). * In the Input/Units section, set the Default Unit to whatever you'll need to use (keep in mind Modo uses real-world units for dynamics and rendering). If you're using 801, watch the following video to know how to set Modo's color preferences to work in linear space for different outputs. http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/tv/training/view.aspx?id=776 And get an account in the Modo forums so you can ask any questions you need. Everyone there is quite friendly, and there are several SI users already mingling around. Hope this helps! Sergio Muciño. Sent from my iPad.
