Hi Folks, Just wondering why I can select elements in the 3D editor, but I can't seem to do anything with them once they are selected. I select a few elements, select "modify/element/move" and hit the "selected" button,… Am I missing something? Is this something sceduled for r4.0? Thank's for any assistance you can provide.

Spencer, I'm not a Yoster, but Select/Element is a handy and quick technique for building selections of faces and vertices for use with the Modify/Face or Modify/Vertex commands. It does seem odd that you can't use selected elements with the Element commands but you're not losing much functionality. Steven

There are lots of things one could do if selected elements worked the way one would think it should. But as Jonas has pointed out it is high on the wishlist items. Yes there are ways around it but wouldn't it be nice…? -JE
