You might find that some of the end polygons become selected as well, and
that??™s normal. After you select the desired polygons, hold the Ctrl key and click on
the polygons you want to deselect. Figure 8.8 shows the selection.
Figure 8.8 Select the center row of polygons for each side of the box.
16. At the bottom of the Modeler interface is the Modes menu. Click this and choose
Action Center: Selection. This tells Modeler to apply tools based on the selection,
not the Mouse position, as it was by default.
17. Then, press Shift+h to activate the Size tool. Click and drag in the Back view to
expand the size of the selection about 15%. As you click and drag, pay attention
to the lower-left corner of the interface. The Numeric panel will show your Size
value as you use the tool. The default is 100%, so you??™ll want to click and drag to
size the selection to 115%. Figure 8.9 shows the result.
Figure 8.9 Increase the size of the selection by 15%.
18. Turn off the Size tool by clicking on it or pressing the spacebar. If you look at
Figure 8.9, you might notice that the ends of the object are a bit gnarly. Let??™s fix
that.
