Geometry Manager - Anyone?

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your well put together answer on the subject.

It does however bring up the point that all of us are probably
reinventing everyone’s wheel over and over.  It might make
sense to put together a routine that could be shared with
everyone that is of a generic nature to help solve this problem.

Thanks again!

Rick

But sooner or later you'll come across something you need to do, some object that has to be positioned relative to something else, that's just difficult to do in the GM.  And by the time you figure it out and go through all the clicking, how much time was saved?
