Multi-Object Selection

In more advanced software, users can often select multiple objects at once by holding down a specific key (e.g., Shift) or using a different selection mode. This is useful for making changes to several objects simultaneously.

Duplication

Duplication of any object can be accomplished via the shortcut Alt+Click or Alt+Drag. Duplication of an object results in all material properties and object properties being the same in the duplicated object.

Context Menu

Right clicking anywhere in the viewport brings into display a little set of options that we commonly refer to as the context menu.

The following are options that the context menu consists:

The selected options in the context menu are related to managing and manipulating objects in the scene:

• Focus Selected: This option hones in on the selected object. This can also be accomplished via the Keyboard shortcut F
• Snap to Ground: Users can snap an object to ground or on an object easily without having to manually place the object or via either the context menu or the keyboard shortcut G.
• Group: This option allows you to group selected objects together. Grouping objects helps in organizing and managing complex scenes by treating multiple objects as a single entity.
• Ungroup: Selecting this option will ungroup previously grouped objects, separating them into individual objects again.
