what is select polygon island?

Just Selection - Polygon mode - subset Polygon Island

I use it quite a bit when I import objects and get them ready for SI. I'll be dammed if I can find a way to map it!

By the way, is there an official way for the average user to log a request? I'm a bit new so I don't know.

Logging non-critical suggestions requests out of the blue isn't really effective; there are just too many coming in - sometimes suggestions conflicting with other clients requests/demands. Best thing to do is to get the community excited about it on the XSI mailing list.

@ActionArt - I haven't tried this myself,
but isn't the "draw primitive" feature very similar to the one
redmotion introduced in his Architectural modeling tools

[ActionArt]

It's the right idea but it's not very interactive in that you can't see what's going on. I do use it but I find it awkward. I hope it gets developed a bit more.

This would be a time saver really, I don't know why anybody would not want this. Less clicks to get your primitive in right place and right size...

[ActionArt]

Exactly. And it's something you wouldn't have to use if you didn't want to but seriously, if you try it you'd wonder why on earth it wasn't done years ago.
