Context Menus

Context menus provide convenient access to commands. To see the menus, right-click anywhere in the 3D area, or right-click an object or item. Note that if you right-click the top bar, the contents slightly changes and the Customize... command is available.

When objects are selected through the Select command, a context menu named xxx object (when one object is selected) or Selected objects (when multiple objects are selected) is available. However, only generic commands are displayed in this context menu if more than 50 objects are selected. To display the whole menu, increase the value of the Limit display of handles to ... element(s) option through Me > Preferences > General > Display > Navigation. Note that increasing the value has an impact on performance and the display of the context menu might be delayed.
