CHAPTER 1 GettinG to Know 3ds Max desiGn 2010
You can change the shape of your selection window to help select objects. There are rectan-
gular, circular, polygonal, lasso, and paint Selection Region options. The next exercise explores
the lasso selection region that allows freeform sketching for a selection.
1. Drag open the Selection Window flyout and click the Lasso button.
2. Switch back to the Window selection option.
3. Sketch a lasso selection region by dragging the mouse in a freeform manner around two
of the chairs to select them, as shown in Figure 1.39. Because the Ctrl button was not held
down during the selection process, only the two chairs encompassed by the lasso are
selected while the rear, left chair, which was previously selected, is now unselected.
