Okay. I have been trying to figure this out for the last hour. I need to make a terrain for my game and I have A7. Now I can go into the engine and create a new terrain, but to make it any good I need to move each pixel individually; not very efficient. In the manual there is a single entry which talks about the different tools you can use with terrain that says:

Quote:

---

"Move: Moves the selected vertices upwards or downwards with the mouse. The [SS] button activates a soft selection that also moves the adjacent vertices."

I have checked the entire manual, this entire site, and everywhere else I could possibly think of, and nothing comes up under "SS", "[SS]", "Soft Select", etc. I can't even find a reference to it. Could anybody clue me into this magical tool which will make my terrain making go SO much faster? Thanks!

Hi, the magnet tool is a soft select tool which works both ways, push with left mouse, pull with right mouse and the ss read selection is gained thru the bottom toolbar.

Oh! Thanks! Thats not too difficult at all. I guess I'm just a little new to that.

Its a little obscure when arrayed with all the other icons but does good and powerful magic.
