Editable Poly (Object) functions are available when no sub-object levels are active. These functions are also available at all sub-object levels, and work the same in each mode, except as noted below.
Use the Selection rollout or modifier stack to access the different sub-object levels.
For detailed descriptions of these controls, see Edit Geometry Rollout (Polymesh and Edit Poly).
For information about the Subdivision Surface rollout settings, see Subdivision Surface Rollout (Polymesh).
For information about the Subdivision Displacement rollout settings, see Subdivision Displacement Rollout (Polymesh).
Paint Deformation lets you stroke elevated and indented areas directly onto object surfaces. For more information, see Paint Deformation Rollout (Polymesh).
