Also notice that when selected the name of the object appears on the top line of all panels in the Command Panel apart from the Create Panel where it is shown further down.This is how you know an object, or objects are selected.
When selected the object will show selection brackets (default white) and also a pivot marker (default red) in Smooth + Highlights display mode and will turn white with a pivot marker in Wireframe display mode.If an object is selectable then the arrow cursor changes to a cross. To select an object move the cursor over it. In the viewport move the cursor over objects and notice that pop-up labels showing the name of objects appear in the viewport as you hover over objects.Main Toolbar > Select Object The button turns orange meaning you are in selection mode.Open kf202_01.max if not already open.As well as using the Select by Name dialog, become familiar with the following selection tools for selecting objects directly in the viewports Selecting objects in 3D is a little more complex than in 2D. Press Rename to automatically rename the objects.Check Numbered to auto-number the objects and change the Base Number to 1.Type the new name for the objects in the Base Name text box.TIP: Apart from the normal use of the Ctrl and Shift keys to select single or multiple entries in list boxes, MAX / VIZ enables you to left click and drag the cursor down a list to highlight entries Rename Dialog Main Toolbar > Select by Name dialog Practice selecting objects in the scene using this dialog.Main Toolbar > Select by Name dialog Select Box01 > Select Change the name Box01 to Ground.Modify Panel > Name Box (top) Change the name to Bollard 01.In kf202_01.max select one of the cylinders in a circle.Change the colour by clicking the colour swatch before creating a cylinder in the scene at the appropriate parameters.Notice when created the cylinder is auto-named Cylinder01 Before creating the cylinder change the name in the Name Box to Bollard Create Panel > Geometry > Cylinder Draw a cylinder as a simple bollard.This simple scene contains a box (at 0 height), some trees, bollards, lighting and seats Once named, you can select any object by its name using the Select by Name dialog Name on Creation You can name objects as part of the creation process and by selecting them and re-naming in the Modify Panel. Please read the sample data instructions before downloading. In order to follow this tutorial, you may want to use the supplied files. This section explores the main selection and organisational tools available in MAX / VIZ thus: This should start in AutoCAD by using a comprehensive layer strategy for 3D conversion Develop a good strategy for naming, selecting, grouping and displaying objects before embarking on a project. Keeping track of and selecting objects in a scene is a crucial part of 3D modelling.
