Last in the View tab is the View category (Figure 1.62).Use these tools
to hide and unhide items you??™ve selected. They??™re handy when you
want to work on a specific part of a model without touching neighboring
parts, or to better see what you??™re doing when working in
Wireframe mode. Just remember that if you hide some geometry,
you??™ll need to unhide it again??”don??™t forget it??™s there!
So, there you have it: all the LightWave v9 Modeler menus in a nutshell.
When you break them down and understand how they are
organized, it will be much easier not only to find them but also to
understand what they do. The next section shows you how to work more specifically with
geometry in Modeler through point and polygon selection and deselection processes.
