Hey guys,

Love the app. As I use it for my class projects I’m discovering more and more.

That being said, I made a zipper with 575 individual teeth (all 575 shapes are in one group).

When exported to KeyShot 8, I realized I hadn’t applied a unique colour to the teeth, so each one would require a manual applied material, rather than an instantly linked material to all, based off of one.

My suggestion in this case, would be to be able to select ALL shapes in a given group, by double tapping the group file name. I think that would be so helpful when you need to select hundreds of shapes quickly.

Unless I’ve missed something, I would love to know if there’s a better way to do this, rather than manually double tapping each body.

Thanks!!

Not sure if I grasp the problem, do you mean like this?

Oh wow. Thanks so much. I did not realize that was an option - you just saved me many potential future hours of double tapping the screen lol

LOVE THIS PROGRAM! 🙂
