== Introduction ==

Object tools are used for adding or removing, grouping or ungrouping models.

== Import model tool ==
Import model tool is a shortcut to the file menu's import model function.

== Delete tool ==

Delete tool is used to delete objects from the scene.

== Rectangle selection ==

This is a basic rectangle selection tool which selects the back faces too. Holding down the LEFT mouse button while doing the rectangle selection, the selected faces will be added to the object's selection. However, deselection the faces can be achieved by holding the RIGHT mouse button while marking the faces.

== Group tool ==

The group tool can be used to group selected items. Grouped items will share the same coordinate system, which means transformations will be applied to them as they would be a single object.

== Ungroup tool ==

Ungroup tool does the opposite of the group tool. It will turn the object within into individual ones, no longer sharing the same coordinate system.

== Pattern tool ==

Pattern tool will let you multiply your objects along the 3 main axes. Distance can be specified between patterned objects.
There are four different distance types.

* '''Spacing''', which is simply the distance between the patterned objects.
* '''Distance''', which is the distance between the beginning of the objects.
* '''Inclusion Extent''', the whole available space for all the patterned items. It will fit all of the items into this distance from the beginning of the first element until the end of the last one.
* '''Extent''', this distance type will fit the beginning of the first element and the beginning of the last one into the specified distance.

Using the pattern tool, the items can be created in a group, so they will share a common coordinate system. Additionally, the pattern tool is good if you want to create stacked prints.
