You seen like you understand blender quite well so maybe you can help me. Im trying to use "sub surf" but its not there, im in edit mode, and im looking at the mesh window, and were "sub surf should be it isnt. Maybe i turned it off somehow or something but im going crazy. Please help if possible. julian_twink@hotmail.com
on mine subsurf is in the "Mesh" box just underneath "Auto Smooth" and "Degr:"
to the left of "Catmu"
what I can't understand is this extruding business, when I hit 'E' I get multpiple options for extruding which you didn't go into.
I haven't yet figured out which option does the basic extuding function you mentioned. Is it the "Extrude only vertices" or "Extrude only edges" or "Region" function? Aside from that everything worked fine for me haha.
