Smart 3Dx displays a menu of commands when you click the right mouse button. These commands apply to the location of your cursor and the objects that you have selected.
Right Click
If the cursor is over an object in the select set, the software displays the context menu for all of the objects in the select set. If the cursor is over an object that is not in the select set, then Smart 3Dx clears the select set. If the object passes the active filter, Smart 3Dx displays the context menu for that object.
