Contour Software quesiton

Postby 3dLuke » Tue Oct 11, 2016 2:32 pm

Feel dumb asking but I can't seem to figure out. Once you open up your file and it pops up on the stage. Say you move it around a bit and then add a few more models to the Stage. How to you toggle between models?

You should be able to just click on the model to select it. Can you move the first model with the mouse?

Thank you for getting back to me.

I am not able to click on it or move it with the mouse. Mouse controls work fine when clicking on the tool controls for Movement, scale, and rotation. Also fine for camera orientation. So once I orientate and place the model how I want and then load an other one, I can never click back to the first one.

Make sure your screen scaling is at 100% and not larger. Some computers have issues with this. Let me know if that fixes it for you.

This is how it's done at in Windows 8.

Also, what kind of graphics card does your computer have? If it's Nvidia, you may need to update your driver.

If it doesn't work, email me and I'll connect to your PC and fix it for you. info@junction3d.com

Currently I am using win 7 and the projector can not be turned off automatically.
Do I need to upgrade to win 8 or 10 win.
Thanks !

Have you selected your projector from the Edit/Preferences? Is the rs232 cable connected to the back of the projector and to the pic? Does the com port for the rs232 cable show up in device manager?

I have the same issue. My Solus laptop, windows 8, Contour works fine. But on my CAD laptop, windows 10, I can't click between models.
