CG Form - 3D Modelling with Lightwave

Customising Modeler Preferences

It's possible to customise Modeler preferences, so that the File Requester will automatically recognise and load 3DS objects. To do this, quit out of Modeler and open the 'LightWave Modeler 3 Prefs' file in Simple Text, and find the line which reads:

FileType Objects .lwo;LWOB;LWLO

and change it to:

FileType Objects .lwo;LWOB;LWLO;.dxf;.3ds;.obj

Alternatively you can just select 'Show All Files' but it's not as cool as the above method.

Shortcut Keys

Use 'ALT + F9' to bring up the Configure Keys Panel. It gives you a full list of Keyboard Shortcuts, plus you can use this panel to customise your settings if required.
