3ds Max 9 Bible

Selecting objects enables you to work with them, and Max includes many different ways to select objects. In this chapter, you've done the following:

• Learned how to use selection filters

• Selected objects with the Edit menu by Name, Color, and Region

• Selected multiple objects and used a named selection set to find the set easily

• Selected objects using other interfaces

• Accessed the Object Properties dialog box to set Display and Rendering settings for an object

• Learned how to hide and freeze objects

• Separated objects using layers

Now that you've learned how to select objects, you're ready to move them about using the transform tools, which are covered in the next chapter.
