The polygon modeling tools in Softimage let you create and modify polygon mesh objects in a variety of ways.
In addition to the polygon mesh-specific actions described in this chapter, you can manipulate polygons, edges, and vertices like any other component as described in Manipulating Components [Modeling and Deformation Basics]. You can also deform polygon meshes as described in Deformations [Modeling and Deformation Basics].
Some modeling operations that consist only of applying a menu command are described elsewhere:
