If
you turn on Symmetry mode, using the button to the right of the Points, Edges, and
Polygons mode-selection buttons,whatever action is performed on the positive X-axis will
also take place on the negative X-axis.Note, however, that whatever point, edge, or polygon
you modify on the positive X-axis must live in the same space on the negative X-axis.
Note
If you have no need for Symmetry, always turn it off. Keeping it on can really mess you
up because actions are mirrored across the X-axis!
To properly deselect points, edges, or polygons, first turn off any tool you??™re using by
clicking its button in the LightWave toolset, or simply press the spacebar.Then, press /
to deselect. It??™s important to get in the habit of performing this process. Know what
you??™re actually doing before you click the mouse or press a button.You can use only
one tool at a time.Your process should be as follows. First, select points, edges, or
polygons.Turn on a tool. Use the tool.Turn off the tool. Deselect the geometry. It
sounds like a lot of steps, but learning this process will save you time in the long run.
Mac users, if you??™re not working with a two-button mouse (even though you should
be), use Cmd-click to accomplish right mouse button functions in LightWave 3D.
