Hi everyone. I have a problem!! I can not import obp It give an error (see link) Os X mac system Since I am a newbee help is very appreciated Peace Robert

Are you trying to bring it in via the File menu, I wonder? That won't work - you need to click on the little triangle beside Create, and import the obp that way. HTH

Aha THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! Robert

You can also create your own catagory on this drop down... Go into you BBRYCE folder. Look for 'PRESETS' Go to 'OBJECTS' Copy, paste elswhere, rename, Tutorial file (see post #2 above) rename to something like 'MY OBJECTS' Cut & Paste back to the PRESETS folder. Load up Bryce. Open your new 'MY OBJECTS' and delete eveything. IMPORT your own objects. VIOLA!

Thanx I will try that 2 Cheers Robert

I just go thru my computer till I get into bryce presets and click add new folder and give it a name. I don't have to delete anything this way, am I doing something wrong? Thanks Angela

Ang: I didn't know you could do that?

that's how i do it is by adding new folders. I have a folder for installed, for downloaded, and for my own creations. It allows you to keep more stuff in a more organized and easy to find manner. Somewhere, cant remember where, there is a tut on how to do it for the materials library but the method works the same for the objects library as well. It might be brycetech 101 but not sure

Yup - any folder in the Object or Material presets shows up in the popup. Also any .OBP/.MAT files you put in the installed (etc) folder shows up in the Preset list. Best; Dan

It getting better every minute Cheers Robert

There is one caveat.

You can only put up to 14 .mat files into any one folder.

Any above fourteen are ignored (based on alphabetical arrangement).

Not sure if there is a limit in the number of materials in a .mat file though.

I knew there was something about this I'd forgotten. Ang IS right of course, but so is Yewston! Except that although there is ot limit to the number of .mats you can store in one folder, Bryce gets a bit ornery and tends to complain when you add too many. This can lead to crashes...... I think a better arrangement might be to create you own catalogue BUT save it out to somewhere safe and only load the individual folders of .mats when you need them. eg: If you are going to create an industrial scene you might have all your metals and technical .mats in one folder ready to 'install' into Bryce with just a few clicks. I've been thinking about doing this with bricks and stones which I find very handy.......

Would I also be right is saying that f you delete the object it doesn't actually get deleted just doesn't show any more so you could still have a fairly large file

Bea: I don't think that's right.

Bryster, I think Bea is sort of right, depends on what you delete, sometimes the pic disappears but the stuff is still taking up space in a folder, thus causing that nasty overload issue mentioned above. I tend to leave everything I put in, in, that way I know how much is really in there. But then again I could be wrong too.

Ang: You can check this by creating a copy of a folder and deleting the contents, then compare the folder sizes....
