You need to use the "W" key on the keyboard instead of clicking the mouse.

Hi I'm testing the demo version in osx and now I'm having problems welding.
The seems won't turn red (they only turn yellow) when I'm holding the w-key and pointing with the mouse, I'm not clicking. Then I can't weld them from hitting return, and nothing happens when i tap the m-key to stick the parts together.

Is this a bug in osx run through x11 or am I doing something wrong?

The program looks great so I hope I can get this working

Thanks!

If seams are turning yellow it means that the other edge is on a face that hasn't been dropped into UV space yet. If you look at the image below, the yellow edges are on the flattened shell (seen with texture in the 3D view), but the shell that I was trying to weld too hasn't been flattened yet ... its got no texture, and would be found floating in the "Ed" space still.

Thanks Phil!

I had missed the flattening step when I dropped it to UV mode, and now it's working.

Cheers!
