Title: Sugestion: Making objects invisible
Post by: APODman on February 02, 2010, 02:17:15 PM

I'm testing the function of resonance and thought it would be a useful function does not display a particular object in the simulation despite ma keeping this so that their absence affects somehow the simulation.

For example, in my simulation of the resonance Chruitine (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,1081.msg10387.html#msg10387) I had to modify the color of all other objects to black so they did not interfere with visualization of the simulation. But this was not entirely successful because as we see in orbit Chruitine sometimes it is intersected by "black failures", that are the crossings of the orbit of Venus due to rotate frame:

I think that a button that you could "go away" with the image of the planet and its orbit but maintaining its presence in gravitational terms in the simulation, would be very interesting.

I like the idea. There is a hide Bodies option though. Doesn't allow you to choose what bodies though.

i love it making a gravity point with out the mass

i could make some intresting things with that awsome
