For example, if you
load in a Mars rover spacecraft, your unit of measurement automatically adjusts to the fit
the size of the craft. You should be able to move and rotate the object just fine. If you load
in the planet Mars, and it is built to scale, the Layout Grid Size might jump to 5 kilometers,
and your rover will essentially disappear! This is because LightWave??™s grid adjusts itself to
fit this large object. If you find your rover and move it, it will shoot off the screen with the
slightest mouse movement. If this happens, you need to decrease the grid size.
Note
Select
The last category in the View tab contains the Select tools.Here, you can choose from various
ways to select objects, lights, and cameras.You can choose to select by name or search
by name. You can also select related parent or child items here, in addition to selecting in
order, from one item to the next. A quicker way to select, however, is to click directly on
the item in Layout and then use the up or down arrow on your keyboard to select the next
or previous item.
Adjusting the grid appears to change the size of the camera and lights, but it really
doesn??™t.
