Cell View Reference List Color Codes

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 2:37 pm

First, please forgive me for asking such a basic question, but I am new to modding and have spent several hours trying to answer this question in the tutorials and elsewhere.

References in the Cell View often turn from black to a light blue or pink. What do these colors, or any others, mean? When the references are not black I have trouble editing or using these colored references and cannot figure out how to turn them on or off.

Where can I find this referenced in the tutorials, etc.? I think I read about this somewhere but I'll be darn if I can find it now. "aarrrgggggh"

Thanks for your help and patience.

References listed in pink are hidden., and therefore unselectable. To reset their state, just select them in the cell view window's object list and hit the no. 2 key (or is that no. 1?). Dunno about the blue ones though, could be partially hidden references.

Thanks,

Your comments jogged my memory and I now remember where I read the information I need. Its the Basics Tutorial series, chapter 2, page four on Concealing Objects. Using the "1" key blue is transparent and pink is hidden.

Now I can move on to my next frustration! The learning curve is pegged.

Thanks again.
