Activating the Object Selection Dialog

In single-select mode, the list disappears when you make a selection. In multi-select mode, the list disappears when you press <Enter> or when the list no longer has the focus. In either mode, the list disappears and the changes are cancelled when you press <Esc>.
To access the dialog for a small set, click
(Custom Editor).
- Click a specific button in a dialog, such as

Input Parts.
- Select a menu item that accesses a set of objects in the simulation, such as

When you select such a menu item for small sets of objects (10 or less), the object selector appears as a set of submenu items by default.
In single-select mode, the list disappears when you make a selection. In multi-select mode, the list disappears when you press <Enter> or when the list no longer has the focus. In either mode, the list disappears and the changes are cancelled when you press <Esc>.
