General modeller tips

• The list of colours at the bottom left in 'tri' mode is a different view of the list of mappings in 'map' mode.
• When you select a triangle, its colour is selected in the bottom left list. If the list is long, click "cols : X" to bring the selected colour onto screen.
• In 'subob' mode you can select a subobject with CTRL + click while pointing at one of its surfaces.
• In 'tri' mode, CTRL + click adds or removes triangles from the selection. ALT + click starts a new selection (one triangle).
• In the special view modes (like groups or mappings) the group select feature (CTRL + SHIFT + click) does a flood select within the group.
• Press SHIFT+F to temporarily hide the editor buttons.
• To reduce clutter, use 'hide selected' to temporarily hide points and triangles, then 'unhide all' to show the again.
