I'm fairly certain this operation was working, but now the button for "Make object double-sided" appears to be disabled. It does not appear in the Options->Operations tab.

1. Create a cube
2. Delete a side
3. Select cube
4. "Make object double-sided" is not enabled

I have the same issue. NO GO for 6.6


NOTE: "Double side" causes Canvas to crash a lot in 6.5 and earlier when it runs. Richard says he thinks he knows why. It might be fixed in the future.

Double side is not one of Richards operations.
(it is one of my plugins converted to an operation)

Is it enabled if you use the right click Select/All Faces?

No, that isn't working for me.

same here. no go.

I got it working after a re-install... but, from that point on (after I use the double side operation) Canvas 6.6 is unstable and will crash. It has even ruined a 3dc file more than once as a result.

I usually optimise the object after a double side op that usually keeps it going on 6.5

I have still to get a test working on 6.6

Even though it makes me crazy... I like double-side a lot!

I can't get the operation to fail on my copy of 6.6.1.0

Here is the one I'm using, direct from the operations folder, under prog files/3d canvas.
It's dated 30th Sept 2004 so it's quite old.

DoubleSide6.zip (8 Kb, 13 downloads)

I wish I could say the same. I always get it to fail.

I did finally get to this. I believe I have a solution. I was having lots of problems with my Merge Faces plug-in and hunted down the cause.

The positive is the Merge Faces plug-in runs about 10-20 times faster on complex models, and no longer leaks memory. Many other plug-ins will run much better as a result too.

The negative is that it is quite possible that MANY plug-ins were broken as a result. Materials are now semi-object based and this can cause problems. It caused my MergeFaces plug-in to stop working.

Paul, my apologies in advance.
