I'm a web developer looking into game development as a hobby for fun and the challenge. I have just started learning blender 2.6. I am currently doing a tutorial at http://cgcookie.com/blender/2010/12/22/modeling-a-building/ at around 9:30 after making loop cuts he scales a column. I cant get the same selection as he did. he has vertices selected but selected the whole loop cut? can someone tell me how to make that selection he did.
Also what setting does he use to display the dimension numbers of his selections?
