3D Model Edit Menu

The Edit menu commands apply only to the current object. Because there are different types of objects, some functions may apply only to certain types. Unless specific types are stated below, you can assume the command applies to all types of objects.

Use

To...

Create

Start a new object. Select Create every whenever you want to start a separate object.

Automodel

Use AutoModel to trace the radial axis of a tubular structure in three dimensions. Select Edit | AutoModel from the menu to open the AutoModel Options menu. AutoModel requires that you give it at least one point to start for each object, and lets you monitor the progress of its search.

Delete

Delete the current object.

Delete Points

Delete the points list from the object without deleting the whole object. (This applies to line-type objects only.)

Delete Dots

Delete the dot list from the object without deleting the whole object. A dot list is a special extra list of points that can be added onto any object type.

Split

Cut the current object into two objects. The cut is made at the current point. (This applies to line-type objects only.)

Paste

Select two objects to paste together. Use Paste to enter the object numbers and set the current point of each object to the points that you want to connect.

Flip

Reverse the order of the points in the object so that the last point becomes the first point and vice versa. (This applies to line-type objects only.)
