5. Interactive Actions

The interactive actions should be considered to be one of the worst flaws of the current version of The Mops (for several reasons).

Before invoking any action you should select one or more objects in the main window!

Every action can be started with a keypress (a shortcut) when the focus is in a view window or by pressing the associated button in the tool window. Using a shortcut starts that action in the current view only, the other views are not affected. Starting an action from the tool window will cause the action to be started in all view windows simultaneously.

Note, that most actions (except for camera related) are not available in perspective views.

If an action is in effect for a view, the views title will be changed appropriately.

Generally, an action is performed by clicking into the view to mark a point in space or to pick a vertex, then dragging the mouse.

You may undo the effects of an action using <Ctrl+u>. Note, that this is a single level undo facility only. This means only the effects of a single click-drag can be made undone.

To break an action, the <Esc> key may be used.
