newbie begging :p

[kachoudas]

hi guys.

sorry if this is a dumb question but do any of u guys know how to exclude or make certain polies of ur mush invisible for brief periods while modelling?

i chekd the help files under exclude but didnt find anything... lil help?:p

It's the hide/unhide command in the poly menu. I think you must be in poly mode (not available in edge or vertax mode)

thank you so much! thats bin bothering me for a little while now. im always hesitant to ask these questions in case of being shouted by the mob. thnx for the quick response:thumbsup:

usually you can hide in any mode, at least you can with edit poly.

(Help - Reference)

i checked in max under "help menu>user reference" and then under index AND search, i typed in isolate function. they both returned nothing.

im not exactly sure what this is that you are showing me. Does it act in any way difrent to hiding the polies? thanks for the help btw. sorry if i am totally hopeless:scream:

HAHAHA!!! REally??

I needed 3 secs to find it.
Help --> User Reference : Type in ISOLATE than the first topic
ISOLATE SELECTION FUNCTION.

Check it out buddy, its really really handy in my view.
I always use this when modeling and the scene gets too complicated.

Give it a try...

right click on viewport - isolate selection

Yes it rocks, but only works for whole objects. I think you want to hide parts of an object, so you just have to play whith hide/unhide.

well.... u said help, reference, so i was taking a stab at help>user reference..... and then after when i typed in isolate, the first thing was isolate selection tool, not isolate function......

SORRY, i take things too literally with these packages, and assumed it was something different..... thanks matey

:eek: hahahah.. u picked the long way to tell me something didnt you! that just hides objects, which you can actually do in many ways.... just select everything else, right click and hide, or you can right click and choose isolate selection, or u can press alt+q or you can ....... lol

thanks all the same for your time... haha and u thought i was funny

Absolutely no problem mate!.
Perhaps my fault how i explained it, sorry for dat.

But with the right click.... i know many max users who actually changed their whole ui , and the right click function or the shortcuts (U can setup almost everythin).
Therefore i didnt mentioned this way...:)

(okay okay u got me :D )

HAHAHA!!!

CYA Man!
