Anybody know if this is missing on Mac Lightwave - can't find it.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, you are correct... it is missing.
Along with these other items:

MODELLER:
Triple Fan
Triple Traverse
Reduce Polygons
Reduce Points

LAYOUT
Object Sequence

The triple fan and triple traverse are not missed that much for me, but the other two are valuable and it would be nice to see them return to the mac version.
FYI: there have been a couple of other posts in the past about this subject as well, and some third party plugins make up the difference... my hat is off in respect to them! Check - flay.com and browse their plugins... it is a good place to start.

Triple Fan, Reduce Polygons, Reduce Points aren't missing?? Is this an OS specific thing?? I'm still on v9.2

Can you use to LW7 version of Replace - Object Sequence?

The four plugins Russ cites for Modeler are not present under OSX because the product team does not have source code for them, and has not had for some time. The versions compiled about the 5.0 era still run on the 7.5 Windows and OS9 versions, but can't be compiled for OSX without the source code. Redevelopment is under discussion, but there is no estimate as to when that might be done.
