Using Carrara 85, can't deselect polygons using ctrl+click.  Can't find anyway to do it.  Anyone else experience this?

I am on Windows and I can do it using Shift+click instead of ctrl+click. I think Shift+Click is how I've always done it.

(I just tried it in the Vertex room on a random sphere I inserted.)

Well, shift + click selects (adds) polygons, not deselects.  That's how it works for me.

Strange. If I shift-click on a selected polygon, it deselects, but if I shift-click on an un-selected one, it adds it to selection. 8.5 Pro build 243

You are absolutely right.  I don't know if I was thinking of a prior version of Carrara, or some other program, but it seems shift was to add and ctrl was to delete.  Since shift does both, I can deselect again.

Thanks.
