Hello to All ! I am new to RDS and cant't find a solution :-( My problem is: How can I split up a single mesh to different parts eg. shoulder or head ? I am using RDS 5 (not 5.5) Any hint in the right direction would be of help. Thank's Arthur Heinz

Arthur, Open the model in the MFM. Select (highlight) the verticies that you need to split up..Then do a Detach Polygons. Next Name the Polygons...lShldr, chest, Head...etc...keep on spliting the model up this way until your done. ;) Not to bad. just time consuming. Let me know if that doesnt help ya out. Good luck!

Thanks wyrwulf and Clint ! I did read Bushi's Tutorial before and his method of slicing a model in the MFM does not work for me. I guess he is using another version of RDS because there is no menu item "Naming Polygons" in my selection menu. I must state that I am using a german version, so the name itself might be different. But I tried all reasonable menu items after selecting the vertices, but not one worked the way Bushi is describing in his tutorial. The same naming problem occurs with your tip also, Clint. Please could you tell me wich version of RDS are you using, to check if an upgrade solves my problem. Thank you again ! Arthur.

Thanks you both for your efforts ! Your picture wyrwolf was the proof of what I was guessing all the time: All I need an upgrade from RDS5 to RDS5.5. [IRONIC SMILE ON MY FACE] And this is as far as I could tell is a big problem on itself. Is someone selling his package ? Hints on the new problem ? Wish you a good day, Arthur.
