Adding the horizontal stabilizers

Anonymous — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 07:48:03 GMT

As you can see by the included screenshot, I'm at the point in the "modeling a plane" tutorial where I'm supposed to adjust the trailing edge of the tail stabilizer. The tutorial images are not very clear as to which three vertices where the trailing edge of the stabilizer joins the fuselage are to be selected in the front view. Are they supposed to be selected individually and moved? Or are all three supposed to be selected as a unit? It is unclear in the tutorial as to which method to use. It just says, select the three vertices. I suspect they are to be selected separately but, I would like to be sure before proceeding. Thanks for any input! I'm using 3ds Max 2016 student version.

Hello @Anonymous,

I can totally see how that is confusing. As a mater of fact, the labels for this seem off somehow in this section. I have marked the verts and labeled them based on the section referring to them for you. Generally, they are selected 1 at a time, but operated on as a group. (Move as a group, etc.) I hope this helps. This is the page you are referring to right?
