export image of current selection

[roger johnson]

...but as far as I see then you are still left with an image which subsequently has to be cropped again..

to get rid of the background workspace...

[roger johnson]

Great

the second approach escaped me !

thanks

newbie : I want to export an image file using the current selected area of the model (selection>rectangle)..

is this possible?

[roger johnson]

Many thanks for the examples and pointers

Looks like it raises another bunch of questions...

but I guess the main question ...

[roger johnson]

Newbie: Its probably a really dumb question but

are there devices that can apply the texture file during or post output of the basic model...

[roger johnson]

Well I took your advice and used the watertight option .....

and it worked ! (amazed) athough the texture of the "new" walls is...

[roger johnson]

Probably spoke too soon...

the predictability of the fill algorithm seems unknowable ...

which I cant quite understand having...

[roger johnson]

Thanks. Just trying to play catch up.

[roger johnson]

Thanks for suggestion. Will keep in mind.

I think the plane cut method showed me the way and then use the "fill selected" option...

[roger johnson]

I notice that there was a similar query almost couple of years ago..

using a plane cut mesh...

although I couldnt see the image...

[roger johnson]

I am attemptng to create a slice of an existing mesh using the bounding box editor and mesh extraction.

This leaves the sides of the slice...

Are there any downsides to NOT decimating a model - if you want the highest quality model youcan get ?
