Hi, V4 I have googled this, searched this in help, can’t see it yet it has to be a commonplace need. With my various curves etc grouped, how can I select a line within the group. To have to ungroup to get at a line or curve then try and select all the objects again and regroup them defeats the po…

Sub-object selection in Rhino is done by holding down Ctrl+Shift, then picking or Windows selecting. There are a few situation where this doesn’t work in V5 but it generally does work. V6 will have more sub-object selection.

Thanks for the prompt reply and answer, 7 mins… Now I know, annoying though that one types ‘select within a group’ into help search and nothing gets found. even google found nothing. Unless one finds the exact wording I guess, pre-guessing possible user word sets would assist the use of McNeelsea…

Hi John, Steve is working in V4. iirc V4 does not have thisvoption of Sub-Selecting within a group. Or does it? -Willem

Hi Willem, It did work in V4 I would go over to V5 but havent time to mess around altering the colours and grid etc etc interface to how V4 was., or how I have V4. V5 is all very grey and dull, I need light backgrounds to allow my poor quality ancient plans that I place into Rhino with PictureFram…

Hi, Steve In V4 try: Options → Export Options… exports you options to a .ini file that you can import it into V5. Appearance (Colors) should export–import as well.

Hi adXok That would I assume be Tools>Options, up comes Rhino options but nothing there for export options. Tools however has an export options , I have exported that as V4.ini How do I export appearance colours though. I go File>properties>appearance>colors and see nothing for exporting my setti…

Hi Steve- run the ExportOptions command in V4 ( Tools menu , and, in V5, reversed to OptionsExport - and OptionsImport. -Pascal

Yeah, Steve… sorry, my bad. I meant: Tools → Export Options… Appearance and Color settings should export as well in the same .ini file. P.S. English is not my native language btw

Hi, exported ini file and imported to V5 and I have my 3D world as per V4 :slight_smile: Light and airy, no grey smog ! However I still cant see the white details in the tools icons. see image attached… how do we adjust the pale blue backgrounds ? I am seeing black lines with points on ends but…

Found it, Appearance >colours >window color 1 , changed it to something darker, grey…sorted ! Now I can see those white details in the tool rollouts. I hope tomorrow V5 holds onto the settings as today it had reverted to default again despite importing the V4 ini file yesterday ! Steve
