Can 't select face

Can 't select face

Hi David,

My wording may be misleading - this isnt part of the boolean operations, but
is a kind of "boolean operations for face selection"

To bring those up, I right click on the Select By Rectangle tool, as it
happens - right clicking on the select face just brings up a point edit
options dialogue, my mistake :)

I think that works the same way back in tS4, though I could be mistaken, and
I don't currently have tS4 installed on my machine to test... Hopefully this
might help though!

Tom

That, I believe, is part of the problem, if not all... I was Boolean
subtracting when the problem started.

The problem now is I can't seem to bring up the menu you mention. At least,
none with the Boolean options. Maybe I should have mentioned the first time
I'm using tS4.3, that may make a big difference.

Thanks for the help, this does set me in the right direction! ^_^
