The radial Poly wheel is the fast way to model: a circular menu that pops up under your cursor with exactly the tools that fit your current mode.
- Open it
While in component mode, hold right-click on the viewport for a moment. The wheel appears around your cursor.
- Aim
Move the cursor toward the spoke you want: the center label shows what's under it.
- Fire
Release right-click over a spoke to run that tool. Press Esc to cancel without doing anything.
What's on the wheel
The wheel always shows four type spokes (Object / Vertex / Edge / Face), so you can switch modes mid-flow, plus the common tools for your current mode (the primary tool is highlighted):
| Mode | Tools on the wheel |
|---|---|
| Face | Subdivide · Inset · Extrude · Poke · Delete |
| Edge | Multi Loop · Bevel · Loop Cut · Dissolve · Delete |
| Vertex | Connect · Smooth · Chamfer · Weld · Delete |
