You may want to resave the original file as a new file, say maybe place a 2 after the file name. Use this new file to experiment with. That way you'll have the original to go back to. Select your head and jump into it. Have multiple views of the head. Looking at the side view of the head, click and drag the Marquee tool over vertices and polygons you want to move. Check your head-on view of the face and you'll see that the Marquee has also selected the same things on the other cheek. The Marque tool goes all the way thru the head when you use it. If you need to selct more, go back to the side view and press Shift as you select more vertices and polygons. Now, go to your head on view. Continue holding your Shift key and click on this view. If you release Shift and click on the window, you'll lose all the stuff you selected. Click on the Expand tool and release the Shift key. Drag left or right across the face. You'll see the parts you selected either go away from each other or go towards each other equally. If there are other parts of the cheek you want to widen or contract. deselect what you have and repeat using the Marquee tool and Shift if needed. You can select individual vertices, lines, or polygons like this and change both sides of the face. Just be sure to watch the head-on view of the face to make sure that the same things are selected on the other side of the head. Using this same thing, you can select sections on both sides and move them up, down, in, or out, depending on the view you're using. Use the side view for instance if you wanted to move the cheeks back more towards the face or out. Hope that helps. Rc
