A few questions
Hi, I'm really a beginner in 3D stuff. I read the manual but I couldn't find any details regarding my question. What I mean is this:
Let's say I want to select the all the polygons in this circle (or circular slice ? - i don't know the exact term): Is there any keyboard shortcut or easier way than holding Ctrl and dragging the mouse over each poly ? Sorry, I'm really a beginner. Last edited by emiko; 5th December 2009 at 04:20 PM. |

Re: A few questions
No reason to say your sorry to be a beginner. All here have some time been a beginner, and I know i'm not sorry for it You can use the select loop option maybe? Just select two surfaces in the direction you want the loop, and then hit the L key on your keyboard.

Re: A few questions
The shapes in the above diagrams look like racing slick tires.
They have camfered edges. How were these shapes made? |

Re: A few questions
Ok, one more dumb question.
How did you make the original disk, within a disk, within a disk shape? ............ before you extruded to a cylinder? |

Re: A few questions
Just make a cylinder, no need to make a disk first.

Re: A few questions
I just created a basic cylinder and then selected the surfaces in both ends and used divide loop. It lays under tools.

Re: A few questions
I believe it is because the authors, want to have control of the updates they make to their plugins.
