Webcast Q&A

Question from Anonymous:  Can you explain/show  how to use the "seed and boundary surfaces" selection tool well?

Answer:  Pick any surface included in the selection / shift /boundary surface and let go.

Question from Anonymous:  Can you pick more than 1 boundary surface?

Answer:  Yes

Question from Anonymous:  I apologize for this question not being related to what is being demo'd, but is there a way to select multiple entities without having to hold Control?  For example, when picking surfaces for a Copy feature or for a Shrinkwrap, if you have multiple selected, and accidentally select another without holding Control again, you lose everything you've picked up to that point.  Is there a collector mode or something?

Answer:  This would be combination of seed/bounds and CNTRL for additional selections.
