Since I bought vue a few weeks ago, I have done some work using it and it's all been based on how things look. I switched over from Bryce, so I have had a small amount of getting used to the Vue interface, and I'm sure that this is another interface issue. First, I really like the 4 view idea, is there any way to change them? Bottom instead of Top? Left instead of Right? Back instead of Front? Sometimes that makes more sense. Second, I just created three cubes. Each one is a duplicate of the other. They are all exactly 4x8x.5 of whatever unites Vue uses. I put the first one at 0x0x.5, which places it at the center of the universe and on the ground plane. I wanted the next one to be right next to it. So I typed in 0 for Y, and 4 for x and .5 for z. The y axis lined up, the Z axis lined up, but the X axis did not. Instead I had to put it at 8 for it to line up. I don't understand this. If the cube has a width of 4, its position should be +4 not +8. Unless, for some reason, the position data uses a different scale than the size data, which doesn't make sense. Am I missing something? I know that the position tab and the scale tab are in different scales in the sense that one is world and one is object.
