How precise are you trying to be? The manual doesn't say how precise float values are but the standalone interface shows 7 digit precision (1000.000). Haven't had an issue yet with typing in values or filtering the Live DB.roeland http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=42750&p=214585#p214585 wrote:The scale value on the X and Z axes don't matter much as long as it's larger than your scene. On the Y axis it can't be too large, since floating point calculations only have about 7 digits of precision.
It's not the precision that's the issue, but the ability to type anything at all. I have the plugin window docked. I right click on a material from OcDS viewport to open NGE and then try to type specific values for, let's say, secular strength or roughness. I can put the cursor in the box, but nothing will type. It's not a NUMLOCK thing. Or, let's say I want to filter LDB for wood materials. I put cursor in LDB search box, type W, but camera (whether in perspective view or not) zooms. No text in LDB text filter box. It's very strange.
