Yes, I have no problems with it's current size and refresh rate, it is most
workable. I would like to add to the scene(x2 - x4) and this may become a
problem. I have about 5 more main objects being worked on and many many
smaller objects waiting there turn.

Lutz,
Mine says 1.9 fps (BTW, what is fps?) with the scene I described above. Did
you check the two boxes, spheres, and cylinders in the convert to wireframe
dialog box? Or maybe you converted to mesh instead of to wireframe? My info
shows216,000 triangles and 682,560 quads. When multiplied and added as you
instructed, the total is 1,581,120.
My computer is a P4 2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, with Windows XP.

First-person shooter? Hehe. In this context, "frames per second".

OK, my mistake, I misread the Convert To Wireframe as you suspected. I
get less than 2 fps with that scene as well. But then again 1.5
million triangles IS a lot :-)
I think maybe allowing you to define a proxy object to display in an
objects place instead of its actual wireframe would allow you do get
around this without hiding stuff. I need to think about it a
little....

I use this solution very often and it is very satisfactory :-)

Like Lutz says higher up in the thread, the use of placeholders may be a
workaround?

The User Defined Object (UDO) is a type of placeholder, and one that I use.
A more stream lined approach would be helpfull.
I would like to work on an object independent of a master scene file, as
long as I don't update the placeholder, the master scene should look the
same. After I've worked on the object I would like to simply 'save' and have
Moray handle all the dependancies.

2.5) Drag and drop in the Browser. Being able the change the sequence of
objects in the scene tree, even if this needs to be a hole new window and
the existing ones need to be updated with a 'apply changes' button.
