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.
Alternatively, select or de-select objects using the following

Copying and
Pasting
Objects
If you need to duplicate objects on the build tray, you can insert the same
object from its file more than once. An easier way, however, is to copy and
paste the object. You can copy objects from the build tray or the model tree—
individual or multiple parts or assemblies. The objects copied remain in the
Windows clipboard until you paste them onto the build tray.
