How do I get to Mesh/Polygon Mode in GMax? I'm learning how to make windows and need to get to this function. 8-)
Thanks,
Brandon

Your question belongs in the Aircraft & 3D Design forum:

Before this gets moved, let me just advise you to go with Poly modeling... it's much more flexible than dealing with Meshes
The difference is that Polys accept multi-faceted polygons, while meshes are constrained to triangles... so Editable Poly mode has a lot more tools to work with, and they make your life a whole lot easier

Actually, I flip back and forth between E-Mesh and E-Poly modes many times during any project.
Some tools work better in E-Mesh mode (such as flipping individual faces or polygons). Some tools only exist in E-Poly mode.
On the whole though, I too prefer E-Poly for most work... ;D
