![]() ![]() Pressing NUM/ again, restores the items to the normal global view. Pressing NUM/ ( \ for emulated numpad) hides everything that is not selected, and automatically zooms in or out as necessary so the selected objects fill the 3D view. ![]() Local view is another way of selectively hiding parts of the scene. If you lose track of what is hidden and what is visible, press this to bring everything back. Pressing ALT H brings back all hidden objects and selects them. This is a quick way to remove the clutter and narrow the view to the objects of interest. Pressing SHIFT H hides everything except the current selection. hidden objects remain unchanged when you render them. This is purely a convenience for working in the 3D view, i.e. Select the object(s) you wish to hide, and press H . It is possible to hide objects, so they no longer appear in the 3D view. When working on a complex model or scene, things are likely to get cluttered, making it hard to see the specific part you’re working on. You will often see instructions to press A either once or twice, to ensure that either nothing is selected, or everything is selected. But if nothing is selected, then it selects everything. selected objects are no longer selected). Pressing A does one of two things: if anything is selected, it clears the selection (i.e. But ALT SHIFT RMB does the trick of Selecting Obscured Objects. On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it appears that ALT RMB has the same effect as RMB on a Window's title bar. If multiple objects lie under the mouse, you can choose which one to select by clicking ALT RMB : this will bring up a menu listing the names of the selectable objects.Īlternatively, you can add an object to the current selection, or remove it from the current selection, by clicking ALT SHIFT RMB and selecting it from the menu. it deselects what was previously selected, and selects everything else instead. If you do this to an inactive object, it will make that object active. You can remove the active object from the selection with SHIFT RMB the small spot indicating the origin of the object’s geometry stays highlighted in the yellow-orange colour, even though the rest of the object loses the selection highlight. Some operations (like parenting, which you will learn about later) set up a special relationship between the active object and the rest of the selection, so for these, the order of selection of objects becomes important. ![]() The Properties window shows properties for the active object, not the entire selection, although operations in the 3D view like moving and deleting objects will affect the entire selection. Other objects can be part of the selection, but the reddish-orange highlight indicates that they are not active. The active object is the last one selected. You will notice that the lamp takes on the orange-yellow colour, but the cube now has a more reddish highlight. Select the lamp by clicking on it with SHIFT RMB ( SHIFT LMB for versions after 2.8), so both the lamp and the cube are selected. With the cube still selected, change your view until you can see both the cube and the default lamp. You can select more than one object at a time. They will be explained when you need them. However, Blender has capabilities to deal with this. If that happens, operations like transformations applied with reference to the origin may not behave as expected. Certain kinds of edits to the object can cause this origin to end up at a position well outside the object. It is the reference point for the object’s local coordinate system. When you select an object, you will notice a round dot appears, normally in the middle of the object, the same orange-yellow as the rest of the selection. You will see it framed in an orange outline. Select the default cube by clicking on it with RMB . Open a new document, then confirm you are in Object mode by checking the mode menu. Many of the conventions involving selection and manipulation of objects or parts of objects apply to other modes as well, so this is a good place to become familiar with those conventions. It is the mode where you operate on whole objects, rather than on their parts. ![]() This is normally the default mode Blender is in when you open a new document. In this module, you will learn some basics about operating in Object mode. 14 Adding/Removing Objects, Undo/Redo, Repeat. ![]()
