or buttons on the interface with Configure Keys and Configure Menus. Please
refer to your Lightwave documentation for more information. The plug-ins will be
the prefixed with TM_P under the Additional heading of the Configure Keys and
Configure Menus panels.
Select Every Other Polygon (Odd)
Select Every Other Polygon (Even)
Select Every Other Polygon (Odd) and Select Every Other Polygon (Even)
are one-shot command sequence plug-ins that select every other polygon in the model, or deselect every
other polygon in the selection. The odd version selects the odd numbered polygons, while the even version
selects the even number polygons based on the selection order.
Select Polygons Of Points
Select Polygons Of Points selects all the polygons of the currently selected points and
switches to polygon edit mode when finished.
Select Points of Polygons
Select Points of Polygons selects all the points of the currently selected polygons and
switches to point edit mode.
Select With Surface
Select With Surface selects all the polygons with the same surface as the currently
selected polygons. If the selected polygons include multiple surfaces, then all polygons with those
srufaces will be selected.
Select With Part
Select With Part selects all the polygons with the same part name as the currently
selected polygons. If the selected polygons include multiple parts, then all polygons with those
parts will be selected.
Select With Selection Set
Select With Selection Set selects all the poitns in the same selection set as the currently
selected points. Since a single point can belong to multiple selection sets, a popup menu will appear to let
you pick which selection set you want to use, including an option to use all sets. If there is only one
selection set for the selected points, only that set will be used.
