Parts List

Fig. 1 Parts List

Another common tool, which is accessible from almost all the Tools Set, is the Parts List. Each Curved Poly model can be split into more parts, each part becoming a distinct sub mesh once the model is tessellated into more meshes. With parts list we can rename the parts, or change their material. You can also addictively select each part polygons with the s button at once. Each part added to selection this way has its name highlithed in the parts list.

Furthermore. At any time, there is a part which is active. And you can control which one it is here in the parts list, using the radio button on the left of a part name. There are tools in Curved Poly Editor which need to know on which part they have to operate, so it is a good thing to keep. An alternative way to activate a part is using Parts Mode. With parts mode we can click on a part to, not only select it, but also make it active.
