Cut and past geometry

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.

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!!

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.

The Split tool will "split" that one object off to it's own layer....even creating that layer for you, in the process. Just select it and BAM! There it is. :)
