Hi Grendel, I'm new at Hex. and I've managed to get through a few tutes and a lot of the user manual but I'm stuck on the first two steps:

Select points in two loops and arrange them in a
circular pattern using the Universal Manipulator.
Use two points simultaneously to keep it
symmetrical.

and
Then select the polygons for the lens housing.

I selected two points manually then tried the loop tool but nothing happens. I'm not sure what's meant by "use two points simultaneously to keep it symmetrical" So I selected all points on the box manually and tried to understand this:

Where is the surface extrude tool..I can only find Fast Extrude, Sweep and Extrude. I thought extrude was only to extrude and not tessellate?...so how does an extrude tool create tessellaton?

Maybe you could break the tute down into smaller steps + highlight the tools used pleeeease before I lose what's left of my mind
