INFO: Clean Up Randomly Positioned Elements in Schematic View
Last reviewed: May 9, 1997

Article ID: Q168176

The information in this article applies to:


 * Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.51
 * Softimage 3D for Windows NT, version 3.51

SUMMARY
The information in this article shows you how to clean the Schematic view when elements are positioned randomly.

When you load a new element in your scene or duplicate an element, frequently the new elements' Nulls are not positioned properly. Unfortunately the command CLEAN_ALL does not correct this problem. However, using the following method should correctly reposition your scene's elements:


 * In MULTI Mode (with the right mouse button), select all the branches and hierarchies from the Schematic view.
 * Choose the CLEAN command (to access the CLEAN option, you must expand the Schematic view). The CLEAN operation resets the branches and hierarchies.
 * You can also switch the view mode back to Plain Mode, and perform the CLEAN_ALL. As well, you should check the memo cam. boxes from the Schematic view before saving your scene.
