Great Tip.

Even ICE Trees get messy. As for Modo, if you have a noodle circling back in Z fashion and it's distracting you (it bothers me too), you can select that channel in the node and RMB and choose 'Separate Channel' and it will break that channel out into a new node. It's still pointing to the same item, but now you have that channel as its own node and can move it downstream so things are easier to read. I do that all the time. -Tim On 5/7/2014 9:39 AM, Paul Griswold wrote: I wasn't really talking about the example, but instead the way they've decided to set up their connections. It often ends up a spaghetti mess of wires that make circular connections with the wires running behind nodes. I don't see the logic in it. Maybe I just like clean layouts. :-) I'm open to new ideas and ways of doing things, but it just seemed weird that no other node-based system creates these looped connections because infinite loops are bad (I understand they're not really infinite loops, but they visually appear to be) and again, it makes for a very sloppy graph. -Paul [https://mailfoogae.appspot.com/t?sender=acGdyaXN3b2xkQGZ1c2lvbmRpZ2l0YWxwcm9kdWN0aW9ucy5jb20%3D&type=zerocontent&guid=29593551-e6fe-429b-8b01-2b6bfa0557d0]ᐧ <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
