Great new features and nice updates, thanks again Laurent!

Thanks to all you four

As i told you in a pm; great work Laurent and thank you

But i must report some small problems, maybe you can check them;
I can't move object to a other scene, and the F3 function doesn't work, i mean the front or back faces only, it's always double sided faces.

But again great job.

Mark

Ah Lo2k the amount and quality of your GP4 tools is simply astounding! *Hugs you* lol :D

Excellent! These improvements are very useful. Merci beaucoup Laurent! C'est du travail de pro!

Thanks, Lo2k.

For some reason I was not able to open International Silverstone layout with 1.273 version, which seems to be fixed now with 1.279.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks again, Laurent and you solved the "bugs"real fast.
