Hi All- I'd love to be able to 'export selected' (render menu) and have only
the selected object, or light or camera update in the corresponding POV
files.

Maybe, even better would be a "Layer Editor" window that is similar to AutoCAD.
From that window you could possibly change the visibility & color of objects in
Moray, lock or freeze objects and set the export option for each object -
provided that Moray supports these features in the future.

There is a visibility control for each object.

Hi Tony Vigil, you recently wrote in moray.win:

What's the difference between lock and freeze?
> and set the export option for each object -
That gets to be a nightmare once you start allowing subobjects to not
be exported, which is why currently only top-level objects can be made
to not be exported.

Why? Does the export take so long?
If you're wanting to render parts of the scene only, use the "Export"
checkbox on top-level objects to stop them from being exported when
you render.

Yes, thanks, that's what I do when I want to render the parts of the scene.
But for example, if I make changes to a light in Moray, and want to export
just that updated light to the POV file it would make things much easier
because I would not overwrite objects that were edited in the POV file. The
thing I'm after is keeping a POV file intact but updating certain parts of
it taking advantage of the Moray GUI. It works well with the Material editor
because I can copy and paste from the text window on the lower right. If
there were a similar for objects, cameras, lights, etc that would be great
and work just like an export selected function.
As it is, I save the the POV file that Moray exports right away under a new
name and find the changes exported to the original POV file and copy and
paste to the renamed pov file, if you see what I mean.

search this newsgroup for messages from lutz. he told me how to add a
comment to a pov or inc file so moray won't overwrite parts of it. it's
late, otherwise i would look it up for you.

Right, I remember that- but perhaps I misunderstood- I thought it was for
protecting materials only, not geometry and lights and things- I'll go back
and re-read it...my head is a bit full of all this stuff and I'm sure i'm
spinning my wheels in some respects. Thanks.
