Modeling

The sheer number of modeling tools and options available may seem overwhelming at first, but to help understand them, they are grouped by function. Once you can grasp the overall utility of each group, it's easier to appreciate the subtleties of the individual tools. The first few topics provide an overview of working with Modo's toolset, while the following topics detail the operation and application of the tools and modeling functions individually.
