Wings allows a kind of paintbrush effect where the left button can be held down and moved around, selecting vertices it passes over. Instead items, or vertices here, stay selected until clicked on again. You'll have noticed that selection in Wings differs from the standard windows selection where clicking on different items will deselect other items. Go to the top menu and select View|Show Normals, and a check mark should appear. I find it helpful to actually view the normals so the direction move|normal makes is obvious. Click the left-button to commit the changes, and the right to go back to the unmodified state. The middle mouse button still allows rotation. Move the mouse to the right to move the vertex along the normal direction, and to the left to go the opposite direction.

Left click on the vertex icon (the leftmost icon on the bottom of the page) and note how black squares are now visible at the cube vertices.Ĭlick on one of the cube vertices and it should turn red. The cube is pretty boring, so select a vertex and move it around.

It's a good about to rotate your creation around to view it from various angles after making any changes. I'm not sure how this is done without a middle button. Hold down the middle button to rotate around the center of the xyz axis. There's a lot of primitives, I prefer the cube. Put a primitive on the plane by right clicking, then selecting an item from the top of the menu.
