Mesh tool FRUSTRATIONS

Anonymous
Not applicable
Every time that I click on a mesh to highlight is and then right click to open the height setting dialogue box the adjacent mesh opens up and I must go through a proceedure that includes closing out the mesh tool etc, to start again to reset some elevations in one mesh only.

Also is there a way to match meshe systems similar to the 'trim to roof' etc... or other ways to make meshes as accurate as walls can be ?

Thanks

Hello Paul,
Could you explain a little more about what happens.
I selected a mesh, right clicked and selected an option
and another mesh that was next to the one I selected
did not become selected.
Maybe I am not understanding correctly.

OK -
I clicked ingeneral to select the correct mesh.
- clicked to turn on the mesh tool
- right clicked on the node that I wanted to change...which
highlighted the adjacent mesh...there appears to me that there be no easy way of unhighlighting that mesh and so I restart the entire process from the top.....often I just give up.

Part two of my question is perhaps even more difficult but I see no reason that it is not as easy as pie.

Thanks

Hello Paul,
What happens if you left click on a node ?

As to your second question, I find with some exceptions,
the mesh tool can be very accurate. The more nodes
the more accurate.

Clicking on the node is what I do..and that is when the highlighted mesh gets chnaged to the adjacent mesh or object. Very Frustrating as there does not appear to be a way of stopping this process so that it does what is wanted.
Thanks

Hello Paul,
You said that you right clicked on the node.
I was asking what happens when you left click on the node
which is the only way to get editing pet pallet to come up.

Thanks Peter -
That was the best so far..although working with the Mesh Tool is still not logical I will get around it somehow for this project. Although I still can see no reason that it is not simpler and more uniform with the other tool commands.
