Shift Extrude is messing up my models

[kapetanovicvanja]

Whenever I model and trying to select more than one face, vertex or edge I use SHIFT + Left Click to add to selection. Well...I am experiencing huge proble because SHIFT triggers extrude so while selecting I am adding these "secret" edges that are a complete mess down the road. It's a nightmare, takes me 10 hours to model simplest thing because I spend like 8 of 10 hours fixing stuff that just appears from nowhere on the model like extra edges, vertices, polys...plus you can't even delete them sometimes they just float in the air. Or if there is a way to do a 1 click mesh cleanup it would be ok. Is there any other button I can use or should I just hack this by deleting SHIFT from the key commands for extrude ?

Hi!

Shift does not trigger extrude.

Shift + Transform Tool (Move, Rotate, Scale) enables Smart Duplicate, so either use Select Tool to select something, or disable Smart Duplicate in Tool Settings.
