No more boolean clusters with v.3.08 for OSX

[beckyr]

I place an ellipsoid on the scene as i used to, right click on it and select "new cluster from selected" and nothing happens, it remains as a non boolean object ... So i can not form boolean clusters with v.3.08 for Mac!!

Thanks for catching that beckyr.

Indeed, we inadvertently broke that context menu item (and will fix it)... but actually, it's all for the better.

That whole Context-Menu Boolean Cluster creation path was always a bit clumsy, and we have other, more elegant methods now.

The most similar would be using the BoolTool (circled in lower half of image below). Just select that tool and lasso any objects in the scene (just like selection lassoing). The lassoed objects will be placed in a new cluster. This Lasso method is demonstrated in a video (highlighted one in second row in the image below).

I'd also suggest watching the new 'Helmet' video (highlighted in upper row). It is the most up-to-date, and shows many of the new, intuitive, poweful ways to create and add to Boolean Clusters.

The Videos are Here.



Best Wishes,

Thanks Boris, i may not agree with clumsiness until i get used to this whole new procedure for forming boolean clusters, since it made me feel like i'm trying to write with my left hand or should i say its just like i'm learning a new software from the beginning .. I hope you guys fix this and put that right click functionality back in your next update soon ....
