It really IRKS me every time I get this .. I cannot for the life of me see why it's taking years to FIX such a blatant failure of the history tree

1. Build a network of curves such that a closed solid volume of surfaces can ultimately be stitched from them

2. Use Net Surfaces to surface your volume

3. Stitch a solid

4. Delete the solid

5. Check the history tree - only to find that all that surface and solid geometry still exists invisibly - and are secretly tied to every one of your original design lines

So now, move a point on one of your design lines and you must wait whilst the invisible surfaces and solids (and any dependents they have like blends etc) are updated.

STUPID !!

Every further design iteration / rebuild you undertake will increase the size of your file exponentially

Every time you move a point on one of your design lines, you must wait whilst these invisible ghostly dependencies from each iteration are updated

It's just STUPID and it's really OLD now

I've been harking on about it for years

NOW, DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND FIX IT - OR TELL US WHY YOU CAN'T !

Hi,

From:

I downloaded the 3d model of Spider Man and then into VC 3D 6 (latest/current build, but i will try this out in VC 5 Pro, too), imported him as DXF. IIRC, at that point, i changed the model to surface, or maybe it was into a solid.

I rotated the object, changed colors, and so on. Then when i undid the import, the layer containing the parts of him remained. Not too, bad, but when I reimported the model (not simply Ctrl+v'd him), the color i earlier gave to part the leg came back. There was no undo history for further attempting to undo the color. My choice was either to select the affected area and re-color or color-match, or to delete and restart/reimport.

But, i must admit i had open both VC6 2d/3d and VC5 Pro. But, i would not expect either to mutually interfere with the histories of the other.

Yes please !
I also barked about ghosts, many times...
