Hello again,
I was wondering how it might be possible to cut a hole for a door in a
pre-existing wall without re-modelling the whole wall as four separate
pieces in Moray for Windows. I tried creating a hollow box and inserting
it into the wall, but it didn't seem to change anything. I have also
tried assigning the box a glass texture, but that didn't do it either...
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Bryan

If you already have your wall, then create a cube and shape it to the size
of your door or hole and position it where you want it. Then create a CSG
object and add both the wall and the door to that. Then choose difference
for the operation. You can click on evaluate to see the effect, and cycle
order if it's backwards (the wall is being subtracted from the door).
It also helps to take the time to read the documentation <g>.

Ho! Where is that exactley in docs? I've been translating the manuals to
Croatian, and didn't found any examples of it...
And, the question I keep asking.... How can I change the axis of rotation of
an object...

I suppose he was speaking about the _PoV_ documentation. There you can find
anything about CSGs - I hope noone expects the Moray DOCs to include the
entire PoV DOC stuff.

Put it into a group (maybe with including a little dummy object - f.e. placed
inside the real one - to avoid PoV warnings) rotate and translate it until
the wished rotation axis of the object lies on the z-axis of the group -
done!
Now you can rotate the group which is equivalent to rotating the basic object
around the desired axis of rotation. You may 'ungroup in place' it later, if
you don't need to modify it again.
Bye,
Ingo.

Well, i suppose you're right... Although that should be covered in the
Tutorial section of moray...

That's what I've been looking for. That should definitley go into the Moray
manuals!
