Ok, so here is what I am doing. I have a figure I am modeling and at one point I am extruding faces to make an ear. Problem is, that after I have the ear created, I can’t click on a face without adjacent vertices being selected. This is causing unnecessary vertices to move around when I need to move the vertices that are part of the face.

Does anyone know if there is a way to deselect vertices after you click on a face? I don’t know what else the problem could be.

Hello,

If you take a look at the attached image: does that look like your problem?  If so, take a look at your tool settings and uncheck soft select.  A quick alternative is to just hit “B”.  A handy tip for increasing your soft selection size is to hold “B” and LMB drag.

Hope that helps.  If not, post a screen shot of your problem so we can get a closer look.

Kind regards,
Rooftop

Hi rooftop, thanks for the help but unfortunately the “soft select” didn’t work. I did manage to get a screen shot of it though, so maybe you will be able to identify it in the attachment I have with this message. It is just one example of what happened after I extruded the figure. Every time I click on a face, other vertices are being selected.

Ah, ok, I think it’s your reflection that’s turned on. 

It can be turned off in the same tool panel or if you hold Ctrl+Shift+RMB, you’ll get the marking menu, and reflection and it’s options will be at the top.

Give that a go, I think it will solve your problem.

Thanks a lot rooftop. That was the problem, its all set now!!
