Groups of Elements - Copy/Paste
« on: November 20, 2015, 07:28:16 PM »
Found this while making groups of mini trees. I have 5 mini trees on the left side and 5 on the right side of my display. I put them in as individual trees, labeling them mini1R, mini1L, mini2R, ..... mini5L. Then grouped them as Left side and Right side (5 each). Then grouped them as a full group of 10. Issue was when I used the left or right side as a group and added an effect, it doesn't show up in the full group of 10.

Hummm, after looking at my post, I guess it's OK like it is, I just thought it was a bug. But maybe not. It would be duplicating the individual elements, now that I look at it.

OK did find a bug, it's copy/paste. When the group is closed and you are doing a copy paste, it doesn't copy those it can't see. They must be visible to copy.

Copy/paste is working as I designed it.  Since you can display models, strands, and nodes and have effects at all 3 of those levels and copy/paste to any other level type there's no way I can figure out what you really would want to do with the effects when you copy them so yes you must be looking at what you want to copy and paste.
