<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Introduction
section of the Modeling topic should include basic information
about the Modes that are currently available for
modeling.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">There are three
modes that are primarily used for modeling: Object, Edit, and
Sculpt.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Weight Paint
Mode may be considered a modeling mode, but I am not yet familiar
enough with the vocabulary that is used in the community of CG
artists to know if they consider physics and rigging a part of
modeling, or a separate part of Blender related to motion or
animation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Because I do not
yet know the three “paint modes”, I would not be a good candidate
to write this introduction at this time for fear of writing half
the story. But the introduction should include all six modes for
clarity even if some of the modes are explained more fully in
another section related to a topic such as Texturing, Physics, or
Animation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I would write
this new paragraph of the Modeling Introduction at a later time
when I become more familiar with the three Paint Modes. Or, I could
write this part of the Modeling Introduction now based on my
current understanding and leave it for others to expand or modify
it.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As a relative new
reader of the documentation I looked for a hierarchy in the
Modeling Introduction and do not see it, or do not see it clearly
because I am new. Mentioning the Modeling Modes in the Modeling
Introduction may help to define the hierarchy for new readers like
myself.</span></p>
