Is there a way of keeping vetices selected? After moving them they deselect when the mouse button is released.

Thanx

You can select vertices by using SHIFT+Leftmouse button as well. That way, they will stay selected after moving.

FYI, every item (vertices, polygons, edges etc) can be selected by using SHIFT+leftmouse. Wink

Thank you for your prompt responce Jeroen, but on releasing the left mouse button the selected vetices become unselected. This does not happen with polygon selection.

Hold down shift, then select a vertice, then release the mouse. The vertice should be selected. Now you can move the vertice around and it will stay selected. You need to select the vertice first by using shift+leftmouse (shift being the keyword here Wink

).

I have followed you instructions. Selected the vertices using SHIFT + LEFT MOUSE, They turn orange. Release mouse button and shift, they are still selected. Press LEFT MOUSE button to move them arround. Works perfectly Smile

but on releasing the mouse button they deselect Sad

.

It is not a problem to reselect them, just awkward when multiple vertices are selected.

Thanx

Hey, that's weird! When I do exactly what you're saying, they stay selected (as they should be). Hmm... anybody else experiencing the same thing here?

Ok, enough people to get me curious. It works perfectly on my home-pc and on the machine at work. I'll investigate!

@ Jeroen

I may have narrowed down what may be causing the problem. If a single vertice is selected and then moved. It remains selected even ater the LMouse button is released. From then on every thing works as it should. Multiple vertices can be selected and moved with out being deselected. But if you start off by first selecting multiple vertices and moving them they continue to deselect on release of the LMouse button. Select a single one first and all is well.

It seems as if a particular boolean variable needs to be initialises at the start of the multiple select routine.

Hope this helps.

I think the problem is just in the side and front view windows. Also, you can't ctrl-shift-drag select things (ie. add a drag selection onto the current selection). That would be good Smile
