How do I create faces?
« on: October 14, 2010, 07:43:57 pm »

I finally figured out how to draw those tiny little squares that are connected by line, I'm guessing they're called edges.
I can't figure out how to make faces, the smooth areas that connect edges. Can anyone tell me?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask how to make them. I meant to ask how to remove ALL faces from an object.

Better to delete than to cut I think, because the cut command keeps everything on clipboard so that way it uses memory, I think :P And don't forget to selecte correctly depending on what you want to delete ( in any other situation ).

I don't think that would matter since it's just a very small file unless it effects the speed Anim8or is working.

Yeap. When I was writing it I thought the same :D Maybe more correct is to say that you better delete those things you don't need coz sometimes you may have something important on clipboard and you just forgot that you had it :P Jst a thought
