Member Ryder Posted May 26, 2014 Member Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi all, This will sound stupid... but honestly, I can see no way to select geometry in 3DC. Say I have several primitives, and I want to move them to different/new layers. There seems no conventional means to do it... no selection... no cut/copy, and no paste. Totally stumped here... your kind help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member FreezeFrame Posted May 27, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) The only way I know how is to hit the + sign to make child layers of a parent layer or make new layer. Move to that layer. Move multiple objects in the viewport: Make every object a child of 1 parent object. Then undo the relationship. Seems very slow!! There must be another way! I keep wanting to hold ctrl and click the layers :/ Have to organize ahead of time!! Edited May 27, 2014 by FreezeFrame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ryder Posted May 28, 2014 Author Member Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) pinting over the object with LMB, H select geometry layer RMB over the object, select operation Hmmm.... That didn't seem to work. Say I have 10 teeth on a layer.... and I want to move one to a new layer... I would use the Move to... (Layer), yes? Unfortunately, all 10 teeth moved. Not just the tooth I was on. Why did this not work? Thank you. R Edited May 28, 2014 by Ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Ryder Posted May 28, 2014 Author Member Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks AbnRanger.... especially the first video... that was truly helpful. I'll try the split as soon as I can... fighting other demons at the moment R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
