SelectingΒΆ

We will be doing a lot of selection, so we’ll get more practice as we go.

Action Description
RMB Select an object. This may be counterintuitive!
Shift-RMB Add another object to the selection
A Toggle the selection of all objects
Del or X Delete an object from the scene
Ctrl-Z Undo last action
Ctrl-Shift-Z Redo last undo

The cube on the right is selected

Exercise: selecting and deleting

  • Deselect all (A, may have to hit it a couple times)
  • Select the cube, then delete it (RMB, X)
  • Undo! (Ctrl-Z)
  • Deselect all (A)
  • Select the camera (the wireframe pyramid thing with an arrow sticking out of it) and the lamp (the dot surrounded by dotted lines) and delete them.

Delete the camera

../_images/lamp.png

Delete the lamp, too

Note

The camera and lamp are used for rendering images – we don’t need them for 3D printing work.
