Lesson 1.7: Discover the Secret Menus
Once you get used to the menu commands, you can learn to work faster using the hidden menus. These menus
will pop-up different commands when you right-click on objects in the scene.
Accessing the Marking Menus
For quick access to many common commands, you can open a marking menu by right-clicking in the view
panel and holding the mouse button down until the menu appears. You can then move the cursor between the
different menu options and release the mouse button to select the desired menu command. Figure 1-43 shows
the marking menu for a polygon sphere object.
Tip
You can access a marking menu of selection options by holding down the q
key while clicking in the view panel. You can access other custom marking
menus in a similar manner such as Move Tool options (w), Rotate Tool
options (e), Scale Tool options (r), Polygon Brush options (o), Select All
menu (a), and Menu Sets (h).
