Default Probably very basic Milkshape question - point selecting
Hi,

This is probably a very basic question, but I cannot for the life of me work it out in Milkshape. In a case where multiple vertex points meet, or in a case where two points are welded together, how do you select just one of those points? (I realise in the case of the welded points you would need to unweld first) I assumed you would just click select then move that point to get at the points below, but it's not working, what am I doing wrong? Surely this is possible?

As I'm sure you can guess I'm new to Milkshape, so I'd appreciate your help

You could use Extended Manual edit for that, and add 10000 or so to one of the vertices, so it sticks out. Then you can grab the single vertex and move it.

ExtendedManualEdit is extended version of classic MilkShape's Manual Edit. Milkshape Plugins from Demon432

You also could select the nearest face instead of the vertice and pull it out a little.

You can also hide the faces on one side of the seam by using face select with "by vertex" checked - it can be a bit tedious but you can hide all the stuff around what you're wanting to select.

Thank you all, it's amazing how much these little things can slow you down and I appreciate being able to ask the questions here, no doubt there will be more to come!
