Delete, remove and control delete.

I started to wonder, what's this three features that kinda do the same thing, but the mesh reacts differently to all of them.

So... Can you guys explain to me what :

Remove....

Delete....

AND

Control delete is all about ?

Hi gustavodutra302,

I am assuming you are talking about when you have a selection in sub object mode.

Delete will remove whatever you have selected, and whatever faces, edges, etc. that are part of what you have selected.

As an example if you have a editable poly mesh and you select an edge loop and hit delete. That will delete all the edges you have selected, the vertices that made up the selection, and the faces that connect to those edges. If you hit remove (hotkey is ctrl-backspace) it will remove all the edges selected and the vertices, but the faces will remain, and still be clean geometry.

Hope this helps!

Martin
