I'm following a tutorial I downloaded..this tute cites the Rest On Ground tool, which my 7.5 manual also talks about, but in Modeler, where the manual says it is (Modify>Move>Rest_On_Ground) this tool isn't there, while the rest of the tools discussed in that section aren't.

Anyone know about this?

sorry... a typo..should read:

"while the rest of the tools discussed in that section ARE."

It's missing from OS X (permanently, at this point, I imagine).

There's a replacement LScript from a 3rd party:

there are a number of plug-ins/features that did not make it to LW OS X.

The original source code for these items were lost, and thus were not ported to OS X. Newtek is working on rebuilding some of the missing features, others will be removed from all platforms at some point due to lack of use/usefulness. At least, that's the party line

I hope that ROG and some of the reduction tools are returned to modeler in the next release. I SERIOUSLY miss them.

I've never heard of a software company losing the code before!!!
