Newbie Copy/Paste question

[lwsalvatore]

In Modeler, Create a cube.
Hit tab to subpatch it
Select one side of cube
Hit c to copy polygon
Goto new layer and hit v

Pasted polygon does not retain original shape.

Is this supposed to happen? I thought it should retain shape.

Make a square and hit TAB, you'll see the same circle. With no other influences on the control points, the circle is the result.

If you need to get the subpatched effect, freeze your cube and copy the polys that you need.

Thanks John, freezing did the trick.
