Figure 3-17: A bunch of beveled selections
Try it again on a few more faces. Don't forget you don't always
have to extrude or bevel up; you can extrude and bevel inward
also. This can be very useful for creating pockets in a model.
Hinge From Edge
Hinge From Edge is a very unique tool. In theory, it's like
rotating a face around an edge that you pick. The Hinge From
Edge tool will not allow you to select faces while it's in use
because you're going to be selecting an edge to rotate around.
Select a single face on your sphere. Then select the Hinge
From Edge tool. Your cursor will then change into a “pick”
mode cursor. Put your cursor over any edge of the selected
face(s). Your cursor will change to let you know you are in an
active area. Click and drag upward. You'll notice that you are
rotating the face around the edge that you had clicked on.
