Is it true u cant import 7.6 object in earlier versions of tS?
thought I saw this somewhere (or something akin to it), but no luck re-finding.
I ask this because I already have a 'scene' finished in 5.1 sp2, but I need a certain object created and its easier for me to build IT in 7.6 because of added options that 5.1 don't seem to have.

kind regards

Build it in 7, switch bridge on, switch to Model, Use tS6Files menu to save as *.cob.
*Should* be able to import that fine into tS5.x

*unless you have the Workspace only version of 7... then I don't know because I don't run that one.

If all else fails build it and someone here can convert it for you if you don't mind temporarily sharing the model.

Great, no problem. No, the version I d/l is 7.6 with model & workspace, so that works out just fine. I notice you say switch over 'to' modelside, so u eveidently mean build it in workspace side. I haven't looked at that side much yet at all, just getting to start learning 7.6 now, too used to my trusty ole 5.1. :) It will probably be a week or so (maybe this weeknd) before I start the model in 7.6, wanna keep familiarizing myself with 7.6 stuff first, a bit longer. :D

You can choose earlier versions of TS when saving to cob from model side TS 7.6.

finis;

thank you. I plan to start messing around with 7.6 this weekend on a more serious side and will start the modeling then, not sure I'll be good enough to complete it as I'm not very good yet at organics. All these years Ive not practiced organics hardly at all, mostly spent doing other stuff in ts. I've spent the last 4-5 days learning 7.6's interface, such a difference from 5.1, etc.

kind regards
Rob
