Construction modes and symetry 2004-06-29 - By Andre DeAngelis

Good observation Daniel,
Rest assured that Softimage are aware of this request. v.40 is significant
becasue it is enabling users to become familiar with construction modes, but
remember that this is only v1.0 of this new feature. it wil continue to
expand and improve.

Thanks for your response, that's what I thought. It seems to be in the line
with quite some design decisions in XSI where things are not as open/general
purpose as they could be, probably to a degree because this way it is more
user friendly and easier to understand (as opposed to, e.g., houdini). It
certainly would be nice if one could add an arbitrary number of construction
modes, thus giving the user/TD the opportunity to work any way he likes
(would be nice to pin scops to certain places in the stack as well).
