and as they are already grouped they shouldnt jump about.]]> Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:08:09 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3431-3d-letter-objects--aaaarrrggghhh.aspx I have a tendency to edit one object then click on another and start changing the values in the properties box, forgetting that it still refers to the previous object.]]> Fri, 14 Feb 2014 01:06:21 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3431-3d-letter-objects--aaaarrrggghhh.aspx
My second attempt, I laid the letters down flat on the ground. This made them a little easier to manipulate. But after I had them all arranged and grouped together, I couldn't rotate them in the direction to stand them upright.

My 'successful' attempt was this. I created a long block to use as a backing so the letters would line up with each other. I then clicked on 'keep upright' for all the letters. Then, I picked up the letters and set them into place in front of the block.
Invariably, the 'culprit' letters would wobble around and fall down. I just had to try again until they happened to stay upright. When they finally did, I had to very carefully pick them straight up, move them close to position, angle them correctly (having snap-to-grid turned on in 'tools'), then move them over to the 'backing block' and get them as close to the ground as I could before dropping them into place.
Wow. What a process. Is there an easier way?
Also, for the Muvizu software developers, can you make the letters so they don't weeble-wobble and fall down when the 'keep upright' is turned on? The frustration was horrible. I'm lucky to still have hair on my head. :P lol]]> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 23:43:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3431-3d-letter-objects--aaaarrrggghhh.aspx
Just to clarify, I know how to group things together, but how does that help the letters from being all wonky and hard to place?

I find it easier when making words/letters to keep things grouped.]]> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 09:29:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3431-3d-letter-objects--aaaarrrggghhh.aspx Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:42:47 GMT
