Hi,
I don't think you are dumb. I had the same problem. If you draw a cube primitive, you get the tessellation input box in 'properties'. You will then see the tessellation input box, directly underneath 'freeze' - do not click on the object, otherwise the option disappears!

Well, I'm new to Hexagon, but I think that you moved too fast.
There's no need to go to the tesselate tool.

Draw your cube (origin -> click ; size -> click).
Don't move it, look directly in your properties tab. The lower end should display the manipulator properties with the tesselate input field.

Hi,
This took me a while to cotton on to as well. The attached pic shows what you are looking for - as Camelo said, it will disappear if you do anything after you make the basic two clicks to create the cube. Make sure the bottom of the properties panel isn't covered up by the panel below - that's what caught me out originally

Good luck!

Dragging the cube into the plan solved the problem. Thanks guys

mayito7777 · 15th March 2007, 18:19

OK, now I have to admit it, when you are dumb, well you are just dumb... I am looking at the tutorial pictures and reading... guest what?, I am reading the captions on the bottom instead of the ones on the top,

of course it didn't make sense I am reading the wrong instructions!!!!

mayito7777 · 15th March 2007, 19:02

What are these arrows?

Pete Exxtreme · 15th March 2007, 20:12

The one of the universal manipulator ? Clicking and dragging on one arrow use the translator function, as described in the hex manual in page 40... But you've read the documentation, don't you ?

Grendel · 15th March 2007, 20:21

the UM? or the triangles all over your display mesh?

mayito7777 · 15th March 2007, 22:45

The triangles over the mesh.

Grendel · 15th March 2007, 23:19

I don't know maybe something from your drivers or display settings.

mayito7777 · 15th March 2007, 23:23

Ah OK, thanks.

mayito7777 · 16th March 2007, 18:45

This is where I am right now

mayito7777 · 18th March 2007, 22:19

Well I have started and re-started the project several times but now I am amost finish

KindredSpirit · 19th March 2007, 13:46

Right, I am now going to try the camera. Space monster was hard, caraffe..brilliant (first thing I have modelled and it worked) window, a wee bit confusing, necklace......leaving that for now!!!

mayito7777 · 19th March 2007, 23:31

This tutorial is excellent so it should be a piece of cake for you

KindredSpirit · 21st March 2007, 11:11

I have tried all afternoon to download it and I have also tried two FTP programs but still can't download the pdf file. The Sports watch downloaded no problem.

mayito7777 · 21st March 2007, 21:18

Check for firewall, I had the same problem and was the firewall that didn't let me download the file.

KindredSpirit · 21st March 2007, 23:06

Switched off firewall, Norton.......still couldn't download. Want to get this tutorial under my belt so that I can progress.

Vaken · 22nd March 2007, 09:55

It downloads with no problems from here.
Could you describe the problem precisely (error message, etc...) ?
