Proxy visibility in viewport - alter object

[Dariusz Makowski (Dadal)]

Heya

I've got 873 objects that I exported in to 1 proxy file.

Now by default the visible proxy representation in viewport object is set to last one selected.

Is there a way to select other object to be displayed in viewport or set of objects? - after I exported proxy?

I went over proxy settings, there were some hints that suggested I could do that but I failed to get it to work.

I know I can use viewportproxy file but not sure if thats what I want...

Thanks, bye.

You must uncheck the "Use last selected mesh as preview" option.

Hi,

first of all after proxy export you can't change anything. The preview information is computed and baked in the file. This is done for performance reasons.

The last selected object is the one colored in green in wireframe mode. You can hold Shift key and change the last selection. Also it's important to know that the object selected for preview is used only for the preview and won't be rendered! You can't use specific set of objects for preview. Preview is composed either of all the objects or it is the last selected depending on the "Use last selected mesh as preview" option.

Best regards,
Asen
