Another post, int he Wings3d exporter made me realize I may have mislead someone with my tutorial as I haven't checked a command.

So, for future reference, what commands in Wings3d are allowed for sculpties? I skimmed through the exporter thread and saw nothing, and it would be very useful to know.

The command I'm currently worried about is deform>twist. Does it add vertices, or just move them? From the rendered mesh in Wings it just looks like it moves them since it gets a little tiny bit blocky, but I'm unsure.
----------------------------------------------------

Anyway, a list of commands that I know for sure work fine.


Move
Rotate
Scale(In all varieties)
Flatten
Absolute Commands
Bend(And the right click bend, though not sure what thats called.. polar bend)

Here's a list of what I think the allowable commands are. I've made separate lists for the different modes, since not all commands are available in all modes.

Vertex mode
--------------
Move
Rotate
Scale (all varieties)
Absolute
Flatten
Tighten
Deform
Bend (all varieties)
Shift

Edge mode
------------
Move
Rotate
Scale (all varieties)
Slide
Absolute
Intersect

Face mode
------------
Move
Rotate
Scale (all varieties)
Absolute
Flatten

Object Mode
-------------
Move
Rotate
Scale (all varieties)
Absolute
Flip
Invert

Tools (not a mode like the above four)
-----------------------------------------
Align
Center
Bounding Box (all varieties)
Tweak

Of course, there are many other commands that do things besides change the geometry and they are all OK. Maybe it would be more helpful to make a list of the commands that _shouldn't_ be used?
