Selecting Objects

To manipulate an object on the build tray or assign characteristics to it (model material, building style etc.), you must first select the object. You select an object by clicking it, either on the tray or in the model tree. Its image on the build tray changes color (to light blue, by default) and its name is highlighted in the model tree. You can select multiple objects by drawing a box around them with the mouse cursor, or by pressing the Ctrl or Shift keys while clicking additional objects.

•   Select All
