the comma nd panel.
The two right quadrants of the default quad menu
display generic commands, which are shared
between all objects. The two left quadrants
contain context-specific commands, such as mesh
tools and light commands. Each of these menus
provides convenient access to functions found in
the command panel. You can also repeat your
last quad menu command by clicking the title of
the quadrant.
The quad menu contents depend on what is

the current selection; therefore, selecting different
types of objects displays different commands
in the quadrants. Consequently, if no object is
selected, all of the object-specific commands w i ll
be hidden. If all of the commands for one quadrant
are hidden, the quadrant will not b e displayed.
Cascading menus display submenus in the same
manner as a right-click menu. T he menu item that
contains submenus is highlighted when expanded.
The submenus are highlighted when you move the
mouse cursor over them.
