Creating Sets

Overview

A set is a collection of arbitrary selectable objects (DAG nodes, CVs, or cameras). Sets can be used to assemble "related" objects so that they can be picked and manipulated together more easily.

Creating a Set

1

To create a set, pick a collection of DAG nodes, CVs and/or cameras. The following example displays five primitive objects. From these objects, two sets are created.

2

Pick only two of the objects first (for example, the objects on the right of the screen), then select Edit > New set.

A new set is created whose members consist of all currently picked items. The set of objects is highlighted in white in the Set Lister window. To access the Set Lister , select Windows > Sets > Set lister. (See Windows > Sets > Set lister for details). Or select Sets > Lister from the layers bar.

3

Unpick the first two objects and pick the remaining three objects (the objects on the left of the screen).

You can also create a set from the Set Lister by selecting Modify > Create Set.

4

Now, select Edit > New set again and another set is created.

Deleting Sets

1

Open the Set Lister.

2

Select the set(s) you want to delete.

If you're deleting a set with many members, you may wish to turn off Picklist Auto- update before selecting the set, to avoid doing a needless pick of the members.

3

Select Modify > Delete Set to delete the set(s).

New Set Options

Select Edit > New set - to display the New Set Options window.

Members

Exclusive

Members of the new set are not allowed to be in any other set.

Multiple

The picked elements are allowed to be in other sets.

See Windows > Sets > Edit set for details.
