- Hi
Another day in the rainy city - here's the report from Gothenburg in Sweden.

We got a tips the other day mentioning how to more easily select Points when using "Surface/Edits/Delete Points"
Here's my Surface showing included Points.

Normally when you use this function to Delete points you are prompted to select them one by one on screen. This can be a bit time consuming if you have more than 5-6 points.


What was mentioned to us was that if you at this stage "Select points" type "C" on the Command line you get into the "normal" selection options where you can use "Crossing", "Window", "Fence" etc


Resulting Surface

Thanks for sharing this tips with us.
See you in a few days Cheers / Ove

Awesome! This has been bugging me - but more so for deleting multiple lines from a surface. I have been picking one by one or using the "fence" command, but I trully missed the window function. The "C" gem works for deleting lines in surfaces too.
