Object Layout

Select Resource / Product
  • If on, you select the full object when selecting 3D content. That is, if you click on a robot's base, you select the entire robot. This is the most common way to select resources.
  • If off, you select the object on which you click when selecting 3D content. Clicking on a robot's base, you select only the base. This is the most common way to select products.

By default, Select Resource is the mode.

Toggle Manipulation Handle Mode
  • If on, active elements are surrounded by a bounding box manipulation handle that can be used to move the active element.
  • If off, the manipulation handle is not available.

By default, the manipulation handle is available.
