32 CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart –Modeling
If you created the indentation deep enough you may have already been able to see these four inner points. (In
the next screenshot you can see an X-ray view of the cube in which you can see the hidden points very well.
More on “X-ray“ at the end of this chapter).
We want to round off the shape a little more and to do that we will select the inner points. Even though they
are visible you won’t be able to select them with the “Live Selection“ tool. This is due to the fact that “Only
Select Visible Elements“ in the “Options“ menu of the “Live Selection“ tool in the Attribute Manager is active.
Deactivate this option and try the selection again. Now it’s possible to select the points. Be careful! If you forget
to turn this option off you might select all the points in the front of the object and accidentally select all points
at the backside of the object as well. The surface on the backside will be altered and you won’t notice until you
rotate the object at a later point. So always be aware of this option in the Attribute Manager!
Once you have selected all eight points on the object’s underside drag them along the green Y-axis a little to
the top to give the object a rounder look.
