Hello all,

Long time Soft3D user moving on to Maya.

I'm trying to set up Maya so it won't select polygons that are facing away from the camera, even if I go over them when selecting ones that are facing the camera.

How can I do this? I'm playing with selection constrants but so far no affect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Gerald

Oh that works pretty good thanks..much better.

I did manage to get the Poly select constraint to give me something similar but not quite right..using the Visibilty parameter, I set everything to over 90 degrees and it worked pretty well, but needed fiddling to get more polys.

Thanks

You also have a paint selection tool as well. If you want to get very precise, you can paint it.
