Moving an Edge
The surfboard needs a sharper point at the front. Instead of moving the faces as you've already
done, you can move an edge to give the front a more pointed shape. The next set of steps will
show you how to do this:
1.
Using the ViewCube, adjust your view so you have a close-up of the front tip of the surf-
board, as shown in Figure 23.10.
2.
Click on the mesh and then right-click. Choose Subobject Selection Filter
Edge from the
shortcut menu.
3.
Hover over the front edge until you see the edge line, and then click the edge, as shown in
Figure 23.10. The XYZ gizmo appears.
4.
Hover over the X axis of the gizmo, and when the red extension line appears, click and
drag the X axis downward along the positive X direction.
5.
When it looks similar to Figure 23.11, click the mouse button.
