Does Modo have an object Selection mode?

Does modo have an object selection mode? That’s one of my main annoyances with lightwave modeler, that there is no object selection mode, and that I have to break everything up into layers?

and that I have to break everything up into layers?

Please elaborate. In modo, as in lightwave if nothing is selected, then everything is selected. In other words if no points, edges, or polys are selected then your object is essentaly selected. Or I should say your layer or layers are selected. Also there is a select conected comand in both where you can select a poly fire the comand and every poly that is conected in a contenious mesh will be selected. You don’t have to break things in to layers. but I would hate to use a 3D program with out them. I just whish they were there in Layout. I’m curious what you mean.

I can’t speak for Modo but in lightwave can’t you just create a new part to solve your selection problems? Then use the polygon statistics panel (w) to select by part.

In Modo a double click on any polygon will select every connected polygon - an eyeball, for example. If you were to double click any poly on the eyeball, the whole thing would be selected.

So, yes, I suppose.

You can also select by material, which is another useful feature. Selection tools are one of the things that I like most about Modo - they’re really, really helpful.

Hope that helped.

Okay, thanks.
