The Modeling tab contains the tools you use most often for polygon modeling, organized into separate panels for easy, convenient access.

Topics in this section
- Polygon Modeling Panel
The Polygon Modeling panel includes tools for switching sub-object levels, navigating the modifier stack, converting objects to editable poly and Edit Poly, and more. - Modify Selection Panel
The Modify Selection panel provides tools for adding to and subtracting from sub-object selections, both in general and with respect to loops and rings. - Edit Panel
The Edit panel provides a variety of tools for modifying polygon-based objects, including transform constraints, edge and loop creation, and editing texture coordinates. - Geometry (All) Panel
The Geometry (All) panel provides a subset of modeling tools from the Edit Geometry rollout and adds Cap Poly for creating a polygon from a vertex or edge selection and the Quadrify tools for converting polygons to quadrilaterals. - [Sub-object] Panels
When you access a sub-object level on the Polygon Modeling panel, a corresponding contextual panel with controls for editing at that level opens on the ribbon. The sub-object panels are: - Loops Panel
The Loops panel features are for working with edge loops, and include tools for creating loops within polygons and at a distance, automatically adjusting a new loop to an object’s shape, random paths, and more. - Additional Panels
The panels described in this topic provide tools for subdividing meshes, changing triangulation, aligning objects and sub-objects, hiding and unhiding sub-objects, and setting properties such as smoothing. These panels are available only on the Modeling tab of the ribbon.
