The modeling room is intended for the LOW-poly modeling. It is very similar to the Retopo room but the snapping to the surface is turned off by default. Start from the primitives tool, then continue with the SELECT tool to modify verts/edges/faces. Pay attention that tools list is very dependent on the current mode of selection - vertices, edges or faces.


Add Geometry
Add/Split
Add polygons using the lines between points. In this mode you can add new polygons, as well as split faces and edges, and connect vertices. Use RMB to tweak edges/vertices
toolset: tools_tem("[RetopoTool]TopToolAddPolygones);
script: cmd("$TopToolAddPolygones);
Select
In this mode you can select individual vertices, edges and faces. Use CTRL to remove elements from selection. Select an element with LMB, then move (slide) them with RMB. In 'Face' mode use INSERT to subdivide faces and DEL to delete. In 'Edge' mode use INSERT to split edges, BKSP to collapse, DEL to remove edges, L to select edge loops, and R to select edge rings, SHIFT to select/highlight edge rings.
