Hey all (and Joe) I've been using Meshwork a lot lately to build some models for some demos I'm putting together for XS3D (an OpenGL-based 3D scene graph...

OK, so I can adjust the grid spacing to a value other than 10, but it's irritating that the nudge value of the arrow keys doesn't match a multiple (say half)...

... No, your understanding is correct. Arrow keys move points 1, 5, or 20 units (depending on modifier keys), regardless of the grid spacing. Hmm. A more...

Hi gang, In case you miss it in the release notes: version 1.6.4 corrects a bug which crept in at 1.6.3, which causes models to be drawn in the document window...
