This may seem like a stupid question but how do you select the outer lines on editable meshes? :oops:
I'm trying to follow somerhino's terrain tutorial, http://renhelp.co.uk/?tut=8, and it says once the edges on a plane have been moved out and rounded to form base ground, you select the outer edges and set the extrude to 0.00000001. Well, it won't let allow the extrude to go lower than 0.0 and I think the problem is not selecting the edges before that is done.

Hm...is that an older version of gmax or something? The current interface I have doesn't look exactly like that one....
Anyway, 0.00000001 is higher than 0.0.
Good luck with the tutorial.

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

When you write 0.0000001 in the extrude box then click on extrude, it does extrude the edge/polygon, but since gmax does go any more precise than to 3 decimal places, it doesnt move, but is still extruded. So after you have extruded them, just move them to where you want, and it should extrude properly.
