Remember that simply saving a LightWave scene file does not save your surfaces.You
must save your object in addition to saving your scene if you want to keep the surfaces
applied.
While holding the Shift key on your keyboard, you can select the first surface in the
Surface Name list, then select the last surface in the list and you??™ll select all of the surfaces.
You can then change surface properties for all of them at the same time.

Note
From the Windows drop-down list in Layout, select Presets.You can also just press F8. The
Preset Shelf defaults to a tall thin column (Figure 3.41) that appears when you access the
Surface Editor, but it can be resized.
Figure 3.41 By default, the Preset Shelf opens as a tall window, but it can be resized to fit
your screen.
If you don??™t care for the tall narrow look of the Preset Shelf, you can click and hold one
of the corners of the panel and resize it to your liking.A good option is to stretch the shelf
out across the interface from left to right and move it to the bottom of the screen. Because
all of your Preset Shelf samples remain in the shelf, you also can open up the panel to fit
your entire screen.
