Hiding, Showing, and Deleting Deformers

To delete a deformer:

1.	Select the deformer handle of the deformer you wish to delete (Figure 13.56). Figure 13.56. The surface wraps around the Sculpt deformer's influence sphere.
2.	Select Edit > Delete, or press .

To delete a deformer but keep the deformations on the surface:

1.	Select the object with the deformer you wish to delete (Figure 13.57). Figure 13.57. The Taper deformer handle connected to a cylinder is selected.
2.	Select Edit > Delete by Type > History. The deformer is deleted but the object is locked into its deformed state.

To show all deformers:

• From the Display menu select Show > Show Deformers > All (Figure 13.58).

  Figure 13.58. All of the hidden deformers are shown.

  

  
  

To hide all deformers:

Tip

• In addition to showing all of the deformers, you can individually show many object types such as lattices, sculpt objects, cluster handles, and nonlinear deformer handles.
