Figure 1.70 The Numeric panel, accessible by pressing n on the keyboard or by choosing it
from the bottom of the interface, is useful for specific tool control.
Use the Numeric panel often, as both a reference and a control center for your tools.
Statistics
The Statistics panel (Figure 1.71) is another key
panel you should keep open. It lets you view
information about your points, polygons, surfaces,
and much more. You??™ll employ this panel
throughout the book. Note that it will change statistical
information for both points and polygons
based on which selection mode you??™re working in.
You can also use this panel to select specific surfaces
you??™ve set up and even subpatched polygons.
Figure 1.71 The Statistics panel, accessible
from the bottom of the LightWave
Modeler interface (also by pressing the w
key), holds key information for points,
polygons, surfaces, and more.
Info Panel
The Info panel (Figure 1.72) was a little-known feature in past versions of LightWave.
Version 9 brings this panel to the forefront, with an access button at the bottom of the
LightWave interface.
