10. Using the Multishift tool from the Multiply tab, click and drag to bevel the
selected polygons just a bit. Bevel them about 5.8mm for the Inset, and 4mm for
the Shift. Figure 8.33 shows the operation.
When selecting the edges at the top of the ball, be careful not to select the edges at
the bottom of the ball.This will happen if you use a wireframe view to select. Instead,
select the edges in a shaded view, such as the Perspective view. Pressing Shift+a to fit
the selection to view will also help you see if you have more selected than you
should.

outline appear (Figure 8.34). This determines the amount of influence the magnet
tool will have.
