I can't seem to begin new threads, so I will have to ask some new
questions in old threads.
Here is one. I would like to view different channels (like
"Reflection") in the viewport. Can this be done? I have tried several
ways but I can't seem to get anything but the standard render.

Thanks. This time it worked, but I swear that I tried all kinds of
finger dance combinations, including the one you described here and
the results always seemed to have some offset distance to them.

Hi!
Thumbs up and keep trying! After some 5 years with Realsoft I couldn't
use any other 3D software anymore. The object/material hierarchy is
probably the best invention since sliced bread (I'm not sure if other
3D programs use the same kind of interface).

Hi Henry and welcome to RS
I am not sure... but I think someone made a PDF version..
maybe someone else can confirm or deny this..

Thanks everyone. And thanks for clearifying the snapping issue. I

Hi Henry,
Snapping is quite easy.
Let's say you've got two cubes and you want to create a third between them.
-Activate cube
-Drag a box around a corner of the first cube (in a parallel view like top,
front or side).
-Adjust height with scroll wheel.
-Drag a box around a corner of
