Edit a mesh in smooth mesh preview mode

To edit a mesh in smooth mesh preview mode

1. Ensure that Smooth Mesh Preview is turned on for the polygonal mesh you want to edit. See Preview a smoothed mesh and Smooth Mesh.
   Note: When working in Cage + Smooth Mesh mode you can select components on the Cage, Smooth Mesh, or Both by selecting an option in the Smooth Mesh Preview > Edit section of the polyShape node Attribute Editor.
2. Select and edit components on the mesh.
   Tip: When the Edit option for Cage + Smooth is set to Both you may want to change the active and inactive display colors for the Smooth Mesh Preview to more easily differentiate between the cage and the smoothed versions of the mesh.

   • Select Window > Settings/Preferences > Color Settings and then select the Active and Inactive tabs to set the active and inactive color settings found within the Smooth Mesh Preview section.
