(page 1–67)
.
Co py—Opens a dialog that lets you specify a
named selection set to place into the copy buffer.
Pas te—Pastes the named selection from the copy
buffer.
Full Interactivity—Tog gles the level of feedback
for the Slice and Cut tools, as well as all settings
dialogs.
When on (the default), the final result is always
visibleasyouusethemousetomanipulatethe

click. With Slice Plane, the final result is visible
only when you release the mouse button after
transforming the plane. Similarly, with numeric
settings in dialogs, the final result is visible only
when you release the mouse button after changing
the sett ing .
The state of Full Interactivity doesn’t affect
changing a numeric setting from the keyboard.
Whether it’s on or off, the setting takes effect only
when you exit the field by pressing TA B or ENTER,
or by clicking a different control in the dialog.

A polygon is a closed sequence of three or more
edges connected by a sur face. Polygons prov ide
the renderable surface of editable poly objects.
AttheEditablePoly(Polygon)sub-objectlevel,
you can select single and multiple polygons a nd
transform them using standard methods. This is
also tr ue for the Element sub-object level; for the
distinct ions b etween polygon and element, see
Editable Poly > Selection rollout (page 1–1014) .
This topic covers the Edit Polygons/Elements
rollout and Edit Geometry rollout functions for
these sub-object types; for other controls, see
Editable Poly (p age 1–1012) .
