Transform category includes modification tools such
as Size, Stretch, Pole, and others (Figure 1.28). Every
tool in this category controls object size in some way.
For example, Size scales your object or selection
equally on all sides. Stretch sizes your object or selection
on a specific axis.Use the Transform tools when
you want to scale or distort objects or selections.
MultiplyTab
Tools in the Create and Modify tabs are generally
easy to wrap your brain around.When you get into
the Multiply tab (see Figure 1.29), things get more
complex. Within LightWave, multiply means add
onto a selection, and the tools within this tab do so
in a variety of ways. You??™ll use these tools often in
later chapters. For now, read on to find out what the
categories in the Multiply tab can do for you.
Note
Extend
Extend is the first category of the Multiply tab, and it
contains tools you??™ll probably use often (Figure 1.
