Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing a subdivision surface.
From the Tools Palette, click Object Selection .
The object is selected and you can manipulate it.
Notes: When this mode is selected:
  • The following commands are hidden: Linear Propagation, Loop Propagation, Fill Propagation, All Elements Selection and Selection Inversion.
  • Provided you have selected elements, the following commands are cleared but the selection is kept when you leave the option: Automatic Selection, Face Selection, Edge Selection, and Vertex Selection.
