Editable Poly (Polygon/Element) 1063
Above: Selected polygo ns in Perspective view
Below: Same polygons aligned to Front view
Grid Align—Aligns the selected polygons to the
current construction plane. The current plane is
specified by the active viewport in the case of the
home grid. When using a grid object, t he current
plane is the act ive g rid object.
Relax—Applies the Relax function to the current
selection, using the Relax dialog settings (see
following). Relax normalizes mesh spacing by
moving each vertex toward the average location of
its neighbors. It works the same way as the
Relax
modifier (page 1–769)
.
Note: At the objec t level, Relax applies to the entire
object. At any sub-object level, Relax applies only
to selected sub-objects.
Relax S ettings—Opens the Relax dialog (page
1–1077)
, which lets you specify how the Relax
function is applied.
Hide S elected—Hides any selected polygons or
elements.
Unhide Al l—R estores any hidden polygons or
elements to visibility.
Hide Unselected—Hides any unselected polygons
or elements.
Named S e lections
Lets you copy and paste named selection sets of
sub-objects between objects. Start by creating one
or more named select ion sets, copy one, select a
different object, go to the same sub-object level,
and then paste the set.
Note: This function uses sub-object IDs, so if the
target object’s geometry differs from t hat of the
source object, the pasted selection will probably
comprise a different set of sub-objects.

.
Co py—Opens a dialog that lets you specify a
named selection set to place into the copy buffer.
Pas t e—Pastes the named selection from the copy
buffer.
