Selecting Vertices

If the modeler is in vertex selection mode, click an object's vertex in the view window to select it. To select multiple vertices, hold the Ctrl key as you click the vertices.

When the mouse hovers over a vertex in the view window, that vertex is highlighted, which indicates that it will be selected when you click. Selected vertices become the color specified under the Display tab of the Modeler Options dialog box. All other objects become relatively transparent.

Switch to vertex selection mode using one of the following methods:

Click Edit > Selection Mode > Vertices.
Select Vertex from the Select: drop-down menu on the Model ribbon.
Press the shortcut key V.

Selecting a vertex enables the following selections on the Edit > Extend Selection menu and the model view window Extend Selection context menu:

Select Connected Faces selects faces touching to the current selection.
Select Connected Edges selects the edges that touch the current selection.
Select Connected Vertices selects the vertices of edges that touch the current selection.
