- Press insert again


Note: when manipulating the pivot clicking the little blue circle that is on a stem from the center will pin the pivot for the scale, rotate and transform tools. Clicking it a second time will un pin the pivot point. (Yellow with a circle inside is Pinned, Blue with no circle inside is unpinned).

Hope this helps

Yeah, just started with a poly plane, 3 divisions wide, 1 division long.


As for working on one half, and having a mirror of it,
I just use Smooth Poly Proxy, reset all options, set the mirror direction appropriate for the axis it sits along, check Keep Hard Edges and hit apply. This will creat an exact mirrored copy of what you're doing, AS WELL as a higher res version that is both halves stuck together. Dlete the low poly mirror, select the higher poly part and move it out of the way so you can continue to work on the low poly version.

Though, something I've seen Zak from 3Dbuzz do in Modelling on the fly makes me think that there's a much easier way of doing this, without the smoothing or th extra geometry.
