LightWave??™s ability to store multiple selections comes in handy for working on different
bits of geometry at the same time, but unless you need to ???remember??? selections
between modes, it??™s a good idea to get in the habit of deselecting geometry before
switching selection modes. Here??™s why: If you make a selection in one mode and then
switch into a mode that has no prior selection to ???remember,??? your initial selection will
be retained in the new selection mode.The vertices of a selection made in Polygons
mode are selected as points when you switch to Points selection mode, for example??”
but only if there were no points previously selected in that mode.
