Figure 1.66 Use the right mouse button to select a range of points in Lasso mode.
Note
5. With the points of the top of the lamp selected, press t to select the Move tool
from the Modify tab. Click and drag the points down in the Back view. You can
hold the Ctrl key as you move to constrain the movement to an axis.
Congratulations! You just edited points. That??™s all there is to it! After the
points are adjusted to your liking, deselect them by pressing /.
Note
Too often, people learning LightWave (or even those who already know it) jump the gun
and forget to deselect their points or polygons and move on, only to accidentally get
unwanted results in their model. And remember that the selection methods are identical
whether you??™re working with points, edges, or polygons.
Symmetry Mode
Every once in a while, you might find that working on the same thing twice is a real pain.
Perhaps you??™re building a character??”why build one side of the body and then do it again
for the other side? Sure, you could build half and then mirror it over. But there are times
when creativity suffers when you can??™t see your how your entire model is coming along.
