EditMode Surface Hotkeys

CKEY. Toggle Cyclic menu. A PopupMenu asks if selected surfaces in the 'U' or the 'V' direction must be cyclic. If they were already cyclic, this mode is turned off.

EKEY. Extrude Selected. This makes surfaces of all the selected curves, if possible. Only the edges of surfaces or loose curves are candidates for this operation. Grab mode is started immediately after this command is completed.

FKEY. Add segment. A segment is added between two selected vertices at the ends of two curves. These two curves are combined into 1 curve.

LKEY. Select Linked. If you start with an non-selected vertex near the mouse cursor, this vertex is selected together with all the vertices of the same curve or surface.

SHIFT-L. Deselect Linked. If you start with a selected vertex, this vertex is deselected together with all vertices of the same curve or surface.

MKEY. Mirror. Mirror selected control points exactly as for vertices in a Mesh.

SHIFT-R. Select Row. Starting with the last selected vertex, a complete row of vertices is selected in the 'U' or 'V' direction. Selecting Select Row a second time with the same vertex switches the 'U' or 'V' selection.

WKEY. The special menu for surfaces appears:

• Subdivide. Subdivide the selected vertices

• Switch direction. This will switch the normals of the selected parts.

• Mirror. Mirrors the selected vertices

XKEY. Erase Selected. A PopupMenu offers the following choices:

• Selected: all selected vertices are deleted.

• All: delete everything.
