Note
A polygon may only belong to
one part at a
time
. When you change the part assigned to
a poly, it no longer is a part of the group to
which it previously belonged.

Assigning a selection of points to a
point
selection set
works exactly the same way as
assigning a poly to a part.
Once a point has been assigned to a
selection set, that set appears under the
Point Statistics window's point selection set
pop-up menu (Figure 3-18).
Figure 3-19
A point may belong to more than one selec-
tion set at a time. To remove it from a set,
you must choose the set's name from the
Point Set pop-up menu, check Remove
Points, and then click OK.
Selection “Tricks”
This section lists Modeler tools for manipu-
lating your selection that “hard-core”
modelers couldn't live without.
Modelers new to LightWave who aren't
used to these kinds of tools in their old pro-
grams may not at first notice these quiet,
unassuming tools in their perusings of the
LW manual. But once they've been clued in
to what they do, these new LW converts
can't get enough of them!
