Am I Blue?

Post by DabblingDan »

No, actually. Here is a silly question. When I click on an object in LE the item's title bar text does not change from white to blue (as it does in all the tutorials I have seen so far). Is there an option that needs to be set for this? Certainly not a show stopper but it would be helpful sometimes to easily identify which item in the LE is selected.
Thanks for your help

Well I just tried mine and for me the text remains white.
As you select the various objects don't they expand for you
indicating they have been selected?

Yes, when selected the box exposes a second line with the tabs. Sometimes I have LE shrunk to the point that I only see the top line. It isn't really a problem. Just was wondering since the online tutorials show the text switching to blue. Wondered if I had inadvertently disabled something (and might have also impacted something else). Since you have the same thing guess everything is fine.
Thank you for the response.

I found this in the FAQ at Caligari...

How Do I Know Which Item is selected in the LE?

Q: How Do I Know Which Item is selected in the LE?

A: Select the item in 3D space, or in the LE. When you do, in the LE, below the title of the node, there will be two tabs:Exp, and Default. No other nodes will be selected like this. This is the indication of which node is selected.

The same question and answer is also included in our trueSpace FAQs. You have to scroll down a ways to find it. (I which we had a way to create a jump point with BBCode so I could create an index that would link to specific questions in the post like you can do with HTML code.)
