looking for hot keys

Support Basics & Interface

Greetings super smart people!

I am a noob (of the forum and blender). I’m building sculpties for second life. I’m using Domino Marama’s scripts. So I start with a capless cylinder and I can’t alter the number of points or polys. Anyway, I have this mask and I want to pull the inside faces out in a proportional tool kind of way, but I don’t want to effect the outside faces of the mask at all. As if there is fabric on the inside of the mask, connected to the outside edges and I want to grab it by a center point and pull it out so the mask now looks kind of spherical. Is there a way I can hide the outside faces so they won’t be effected? Or is there a special tool I have to use?

Thank you!

P.S. what should I name this thread? Proportional Options?

i really don’t know the answer to the question but for your title you can say a noob with serious problem

oh yeah can you also show a picture of what the part your asking about

To hide parts of a mesh just select the verticies and press ‘H.’ Then when you want to un-hide them press ‘Alt + H.’

awesome. Thanks Nemitis! Is there a hot key for “select inverse” or “select connected”?

Ctrl + I for inverse and Ctrl + L for connected :slight_smile: .
