The way you select and transform items in Alias is different from Rhino. Although the

Transform tools (Move, Rotate, Scale and Nonp-Scale) are common to all entity types

(Objects, Object Components such as Curves, Surfaces, CVs, Edit Points, Templates, and

so on), each type has its own selection, or pick tool.

The process of applying transforms to the different entity types is to enter the selection

mode rst. So to move control vertices (similar to Rhino’s Control Points), choose Pick >

Point Types > CV and then Transform > Move. The CV selection can be made before

selecting the Move tool, or edited after by pressing the Shift key, which temporarily

suspends the transform tool.

In any selection or transform mode, picking an object or component with the left mouse

button adds or removes objects from the selection. The right mouse button removes

objects from the selection. The middle mouse button starts a new selection. [Tip: While in a

selection mode, pressing the middle mouse button in empty space makes sure nothing at

all is picked: it’s like using the Pick > Nothing tool]. These three picking modes can be

assigned to any of the mouse buttons through Preferences > Selection Options.

Grouping

Grouping and ungrouping is an important part of the Alias workow. While surfaces may be

joined in Rhino to create polysurfaces that act like solids, in Alias, you work with NURBS

surfaces to ensure the integrity of the data during the entire modeling process. It is why

you might nd yourself grouping and ungrouping surfaces into objects in Alias rather than

joining and exploding in Rhino. The only time objects are turned into solids in Alias is to

generate data for CAD or STL export. Solids in Alias are called shells, and are created

using the Surface Edit > Stitch > Shell Stitch tool. (see Export CAD & STL Data at the end

of this booklet).

Edit > Group

Groups the picked objects into a single object, allowing you to pick and apply

transformations to all the components at once.

Edit > Ungroup

Separates the components of a group into individually pickable objects.
