perfectly, and the object or selection is sized without shifting toward the mouse location.
Modeler General Commands
Now take a look at the rest of the buttons along the bottom of the interface, as in Figure
1.68.Here you can see a series of buttons and tools. These are key to working in Modeler,
which is why they are always visible on the interface.
Figure 1.68 The LightWave v9 Modeler Interface keeps key tools accessible along the
bottom of the screen, no matter which tool tab is selected.
At the bottom left of the interface is a small information area (Figure
1.69). This is the ???info??? area to which you??™ll be referred throughout
this book. It shows you many properties, depending on the tool at
hand, such as the size of objects, point position, and more.
You??™ll use the info area sometimes just as a reference and at other
times to measure and control the movement of objects.
