[Keith Sweeting]

Thank you Lisa I did read that but it didn't sink into my old brain. I am very encouraged by the response that a lot of the forumites gave me thank you once again!!!

Keith if you have the surface icon depressed ,then if u want to select more than 1 part of the model make sure you hold in your shift button before you click another section of the model that way you select more than 1 part of the model .Look at the pic below.

I am all fingers and thumbs when it comes to selecting the required surfaces in the Texture Coordinate Editor. So I have started pre-colouring the surfaces that I will want to select together, with the same colour. Then.... when I am in the TCE I can right click on the colour bar ( At the bottom left of the main AC3D window) and use 'select surfaces with this material' to pull them in to the TCE.

No you dont right click the color bar ,you left click .I havent matsered making the texutre maps yet so i cant really comment on that .Though once i get a little more advanced in AC3D i will write some very simple tut's for everyone to read and hopefully they will help allot .


If you have any more questions just PM me .

Actually Chas's method works very well. I do that all the time myself. (right-click "select surfaces with this color" for grouping.)

It's super-helpful when you have a lot of polys, because it basically lets you make a selection set. It's grat when building, too--I use it alot to group faces that I'm extruding into a new detail, so I can quickly switch back-and-forth between tweaking individual vertices and moving the whole set of faces without having to re-select.
