Soft Selection Selects Through About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

Soft Selection Selects Through // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by johnhoward // Sep 12, 2007, 2:07pm johnhoward Total Posts: 231 Soft Selection seems like a great tool for modeling, but it selects through to the back of the object so, for instance, if I use it to produce some eye sockets, it also pushes out bumps at the back of the head. Question: is it supposed to work that way or is there a hidden checkbox for "select front surface only"? I note that all the examples concern mountain making, where the underside is not a problem. Thanks for any clues. Post by Steinie // Sep 12, 2007, 4:38pm Steinie Total Posts: 3667 Right click on the object to enter point edit mode. In Stack under the "Panels" tab you should see "Mesh Editor Settings" with a box labeled "Select Only Front Faces" Edit: my answer is the hard way, WWitch is the easy way.

That button is labeled "Select Nearest Element" and I just didn't interpret it the right way when I read about it.
