Default caveman tut

Hey guys im a little hacked off with the caveman texturing tut, you unwrap his hands, arms and skirt, then the tutor does the rest off line and give you a brief 10 second explanation of how he unwrapped the chest, legs and feet..... the biggest problem im having is that with the chest he says he used free move- which I cant seem to figure out, and cant find anywhere in the manual..... so I used unweld instead, but cant get my points to look anything like his- did anyone else have a problem with this?????

Iv got the latest version, so that shouldnt be a problem-
anyway I managed to get it to work last night using unweld, but I guess Im just a bit dissapointed that part of the tutorial was done off line, I would far rather pay a little more and get the complete thing.........

The only thing that I could use assistance with is how to use free move-like i said maybe im in dumb mode, but I cant seem to find that anywhere in the manual

I've done this tutorial to and it was indead frustrating. I stoped and did the mechbot UV cause that started from base and takes you the full tour.

For your problem: be shoure to select the poly you want to tweake and then with the drag tool move the points of you selected polygon when you in free move mode
