Peter;
Thanks for the report on Vexx, Removing a node follows the steps I previously mentioned, that is select it, and hit the delete key on your keyboard for it to go, however adding a node, isn't yet possible, or should I say not available in this version? We determined awhile back that you should be able to add reference points to line if you'd like, or you could just use Vexx tools, and draw intersecting line, this would indeed split the line and create new nodes automatically for you, as oppose to adding individual nodes? The editing technique is a little different than some CAD programs out there, however you just need to draw new shapes or perhaps new intersects points that will correspond to your modified design? Using Vexx this way, creates all of the necessary nodes automatically? Simply follow it up by using the scissor like cut tool to remove any segment you don't need and there you go. We found approaching this way was much easier and quicker to achieve results than some of the existing methods available today. Please remember that Vexx is young, it is under constant development and continues to grow, some things work very well, other things may still have a few bugs for us to iron out. For me, the liaison of using an existing 2D item that can be quickly extruded into a 3D part, is my favorite part of Vexx.
Anyhow as to Error 1161, it is likely caused from the fact your active menu wasn't closed properly before jumping into another feature of Vexx? Users must click the OK button once any editing is done, in order to jump out of that mode, failure to do so may results in similar errors. I believe you get to reload your project once it reboots, however some users have reported at times it doesn't work so well and you must start from scratch. Always wise to backup your work often?
Moving forward, your observations have been noted, they will undergo a review at one point, any changes or clarifications will be posted on this forum for all to see. Again, thanks for your input.
Cheers
Bob
