Support Deleter!!!

[Brtnboarder495]

I was wondering if there is a way to delete supports that are on a coaster altogether, other than deleting each individually. (not the wood magic)

yeah tia made the program which can do this. i forgot the link i will get it in a minute

Just view the coaster in the editor. Select Display, Nodes. This will turn off all track nodes so they don't get deleted. Zoom all the way out so you see the whole coaster. Click and drag around the entire ride and hit delete. Done. Supports gone and track stays.

No that only optimizes them so the FPS can be high.

You've got an option on the toolbox to clear all sorts of stuff all at once, clearing support nodes is one of 'em. You can download the toolbox here

Bummer, can't use the track tools from tia [V] No mac version! I am using a mac! When will someone make one?

Anyway thanks for your time I will try the other methods posted...

how big is your harddrive? I suppose you could split your harddrive in two and install windows on the other half. lol

She probably will, after the next NL update is finished and she has time to make it for mac.

VERY unlikely. AFAIK Tia has no Mac and therefor can't possibly port the stuff to Mac.

However, there are some free progs like Virtual PC for Macs. If you own Windows, you might want to give it a try.

Buster.

you could also change the display to not show vertices and then draw a box around the whole thing so all the supports are highlighted and then press delete...I don't know if this'll take out the track too, so be careful - lol
