Hope it's ok to ask Hexagon questions here - I know quite a few of us Carrara users have picked it up and most of you are way smarter than me about other modeling methods besides Spline. ;-) Anyway... let's say I have a simple cube and select one side or face of it. How can I increase the number of polygons in that selection?

Ha! Hexagon! For Those Who Want To Do Things The Easy Way! I guess it is way okay. As long as there is no Hexagon Forum (and it does not really need one in the long run, I think). Tesselate is the answer, by the way.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for... and for the record I did look in the manual first. ;-p I guess I wasn't searching for the right term. Chuck

My 'easy way' reply was about your question if Hexagon questions were allright here. It did not come out as I meant, I think... I had a longer remark about a real Carrara die-hard should work in sweat in the vertex modeller instead of taking that easy Hexagon route. I deleted it, not realising the short version did not make a lot of sense...

Don't worry, I knew what you were referring to! It's just that coming from a Ray Dream background all those years ago, I'm so fixed in my ways of modeling with the spline that the vertex modeler frustrates me, because I can't seem to embrace it. However, with Hexagon I feel comfortable enough poking around and finding my way, similar to my days of learning spline. :-)
