Cut
Menu: Edit Icon: Short cut: Ctrl + X
Deletes the selected model content and pastes it into the store
The function Cut deletes all selected objects from the model data in the current workspace and
copies them into the store.
You can mark objects for cutting with the functions Mark shells, Mark surfaces and Select part.
If no particular objects are marked, all model data is cut from the workspace, which is then
closed automatically.
INFO: The cutting of model data is only supported for editing triangle models. The Cut function
is automatically disabled during the processing of surface or slice models.
The current content of the store can be seen and reviewed at any time by the function Show
store.
The function Paste inserts the content of the store into the model data of any other workspace.
Thus, this mechanism allows the transfer of individual objects in-between different workspaces.
HINT: This mechanism can also be very helpful for the repair and manipulation of a triangle
model, when particular objects shall be detached from the model so they can be edited
separately.
• For this, choose the objects to be altered with the corresponding function and paste the
marked objects with the function Cut (Shortcut CTRL+X) into the store.
• Create a new workspace with the function New (Shortcut CTRL+N) and insert the data
from the store with the function Paste (Shortcut CTRL+V) into the empty workspace.
• You can now edit the objects locally and separately from the rest of the model without
losing the overview of the model as a whole.
• At last, reinsert the edited objects with the functions Cut and Paste directly into the
previous workspace.
INFO: The menu Model lists all available workspaces, and here you can toggle between the
workspaces at any time.
