Re: node highlighting

Hoi everyone,

First thanks to m and Alberto for kindly answering my questions. I  
appreciate the answer from Lou as well, though I feel that the tone  
of his message was not appropriate.

@ Lou
It seems that it is mainly a personal preference which causes your  
disagreement with my question/suggestion. The apparent lack of  
accuracy in modelling in Blender is important to me and indeed  
probably because I am used to this from CAD. It certainly has a  
purpose in the artistic workspace as well, since you can then clearly  
identify the proper dimensional relations between the various  
components of your design.
I know I have a lot to learn in Blender. That is why I asked the  
questions on this mailinglist. I want to know if there are trivial  
things I missed and if there are (similar or other) ways to get the  
results I know from some simple actions in common CAD software. I  
gave the suggestions to further clarify what I would like to achieve  
and if it is not possible yet, how it could be achieved.
I do find the Blender interface very interesting. I know Blender is  
good for organic and character modelling, but I do know that it is  
also good for creating for example cars. I have been stunned by some  
samples of this presented on the blenderartists forum. I basically  
want to design vehicles with Blender and I am currently learning how  
to do that through tutorials etc. This should not mean that I can not  
ask questions and make suggestions. That is what you do when  
learning, right?

@ m
I am glad you agree that it would be useful to have the 'node  
highlighting. I also suspect this functionality would not be a  
serious demand of resources. It would be great if this could be  
implemented as a switchable option, so that for example Lou can turn  
it off...

@ Alberto
That was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot. It took me a  
few times switching between Object and Edit mode, but now I get it.  
Works flawless. Tricks like using the object center for functions  
like this are very useful and as far as I can tell under-documented.  
I might have overlooked it in the BlenderWiki, but I sure did not  
know about it. I'm glad I do now. Thanks again.

Regards,
Lars Boelman
