Create Menu

A Create menu contains almost all objects that can be created in FinalMesh application.

If at least one object is selected in the scene tree when you create a new object ( related to Primitives, Node, Splines, Fractal, Point Light objects ), you can select where the new object will be placed in the scene tree by holding down one of the following keys:

  • Shift: Makes the new object a child of the selected object.
  • Alt: Makes the new object a parent of the selected object.
  • Ctrl: Places the new object on the same hierarchical level as the selected object (behind it).

Modifiers, Groups and Finishers are created as parent of selected objects. If nothing is selected, empty modifier is created in the root space.

Node Create empty simple node or billboard node.
Primitive Procedural, polygonal parametric primitives. Learn more.
