Picking in Render

Two modes for picking

• Pick/Edit mode:
  • Picking done using left mouse button on object
  • Selected object is highlighted with a red box round it
  • Can then edit the object's appearance - using the Material Editor
    colour - using the Color Editor
    scale, orientation, location - using the Transform Sliders
    All three editors are available from Editors on the menu bar
    See also Manips on the menu bar for manipulators which can be used to transform the selected object
• User Pick mode:
• Information about selected object is written to a Pick data type and passed out of Render's Pick output port for use by another module
