The Unchallenge A forum for "unchallenges" where users can post models or an idea so that the group can work together to solve the problem, develop new techniques and share thoughts about a particular topic. Kind of like a challenge but without a deadline.

Default 3DATS - Challenge #2

OK, well the 1st one went so well, I thought I'd throw this one out.

There are usually numerous ways to get something done, but the real trick is finding the fastest way. In the attached scene there is one object...an object that represents the curbs of a development. The curbs were created with the Sweep modifier, but then collapsed to an editable poly. With literally no more than 15 clicks of the mouse, how could you delete all of the faces that make-up the bottom part of ALL the curbs shown in the attached illustration (not just the one). This includes clicks on individual icons, all the clicks inside the Modify panel, clicks to pan and zoom around, etc. This can be done in less than 20 seconds btw.

Again, please dont give away the answer. Please just list your total clicks and the time it took you.

Hey!
It's no fun with a Max only challenge

But then I suppose it would be irrelevant for SketchUp users anyway, because you wouldn't need to remove the bottom because it is usually not generated in the first place
