solid construct menu

group


Purpose
When this toggle button is active, the next solid to be added to the environment will be grouped (added) to the currently active part of the tree.

Usage
Click the group toggle button to activate it. A solid (e.g. ball) can now be selected to group it to the currently active part of the tree. The new selected solid will be placed at the right side of the currently active part of the tree.

Comments
This is the most common way of adding solids to the environment! The toggle button cannot be deactivated by clicking it again. One of the following functions has to be activated in order to deactivate group: new/fix solid, union, subtract, intersect or overlay.
This function can be used in combination with the following buttons: ball, cone, cylinder, cube, torus, text, ff extrusion, ff rotation, ff patch , get solid , import nurbs , particles, particlefield and spline-skin.
