    Display Rules: z-buffer + Normals as property

    Transfered from EAP Ideas listI wonder if it would be possible to assign a 'plane' property to the graphic elements generated for a CVE. Get the z-buffer and normals from the GPU and sort/cull them into discrete groups, which can then be assigned ...

    Criteria for Display Rules: isSelected

    Transfered from EAP Ideas listIs there a way to get the Condition Editor to recognise elements that are:1. Selected? This would great as it would allow the user to HIDE the selected elements.2. Members of a Named or Graphic Group? NOT from that Gr...

    Clip Plane tool

    Transfered from EAP Ideas listDV's are pretty powerful. I was wondering if the Clip Volume tool could be combined with some of the functionality that Accudraw and the ACS tool have to allow the user to 'peel back' the 3d model more easily.Somethin...
