The Smoove Tool

This tool is intended to be used with From Scratch. When active, it utilizes a circular outline tool to select the edges and faces on a From Scratch grid. The selected geometry can then be pulled up or down to form mounds or depressions. The size of the circular outline can be adjusted to be larger or smaller. (See Fig. 12-6 through and Fig. 12-8.) The Smoove tool does take some practice to master.
