Hi Tom


A further post as I've been watching your video tutorials and am on 040. Up to 030 I was ok, but things went a bit pear shaped on 040 for a couple of things. I say the following out of a desire to help..., there are two glaring issues which I'm not sure is my missing something or maybe I could offer some observations for your consideration or correcting me if I have not understood.

From 030 all is well and it ends with a pic of a cool printed ceramic. Then 040 starts with a different scene with an unnamed sphere. After a while we see there is a list of five hidden objects plus the one unnamed sphere. As I take it overall this is designed to be "do as I do" teacher-student walk along with the tutorial, the problem comes when you say click this and click that as there is now a disconnect from what the student can do as they don't have any of those objects premade to follow along with. I made my own to follow along with the boolean diff subtraction of the small sphere, then you say we will cut the large sphere in half to check it worked, click click click... large sphere is now shows as a cutaway, what happened? I see there was a 2D rectangle there which probably had something to do with what happened, but no idea how it happened.

Please don't take this the wrong way, this was probably just my learning difficulty coming out to mess my head around. As it goes a lot of people come to me for testing things as they know I will screw it up somehow, lol.

Cheers,
Rob
