Hello,

   Well, I downloaded Moray for DOS long ago, liked it, but didn't
have the moolah to register. Sigh. Sent to recycle bin.  
I'll be sending money soon, as I love the windows version, especially
the texture editor. Great job. My question is can you hide objects?
When building complex objects and wanting to work on just one
part, all the lines from other objects get in the way and it gets
very tough to see what is going on. My solutions thus far have been:

a) Translate the unwanted stuff out of view. Cumbersome.

b) Take the desired parts, save as seperate model, then re-merge
with original when complete. Worse.

Is there a better way?

Also, what is the best way to send payment? I don't have a checking
account, and I think it would be cumbersome for Softronics to
hafta convert greenbacks to marks. Is there such a thing as an 
international money order?

Of course. Haven't you downloaded the docs? Every object in Moray
has a visibility level assigned, which you can change in a write box
below the texture assign buttons etc being at the  'modify' card. If
you change it to above the value set for Moray generally, which you do
under view->configuration->moray, the object is hidden.

There is, but I think it's more expensive than certified mail, which
is covered by insurance and generally never gets lost.
What's wrong with greenbacks if its enough?<g>

Hi Wayne Gordon, you recently wrote in moray.win:

> My question is can you hide objects?

Yes. Each object has a visibility level assigned to it, check the
lower part of the object menu in the Modify Tab (on the right). You
can set the visibility of the object you want to hide to, say, 6, then
set the global visibility to 5 or less (using the Alt-n hotkey, where
n is a number, not a function key). For example, press Alt-5 to set
the global visibility to 5. All objects that have a visibility level
of more than 5 will be hidden.

To register, I can recommed our secure server if you have a credit
card, otherwise an international money order is fine as is a cheque in
US$ from a US bank.
