Use the Trash to delete files from the Catalog of objects
or from the Catalog of materials. The Trash can also be used to delete some or all of the
elements of a scene.
q Erasing a file from the Catalog
Proceed as follows:
1. In the Catalog, click on the file you wish to
permanently erase (hold the mouse button down);
2. A small graphical representation (ghost icon) of the
file is displayed when you move the cursor outside of the file’s cell.
3. Release the mouse button when the ghost icon is over the
trash.
4. The file is erased.
The
operation performed erases the file from the hard drive and cannot be canceled.
Therefore, you must be sure that you want to erase the file.
q Erasing one or several elements from the current scene
How to proceed?
1. Click with the Wand on the element in the scene you wish to permanently erase.
2. A small graphic representation (thumbnail) is displayed along with the cursor.
3. Release the mouse button once the thumbnail is above the trash icon.
4. The element has disappeared from the scene.
If
you erase an element by mistake, do not panic. Cancellation of the operation is possible
just after you have set the Catalog tool aside: select Cancel in the Edit menu or click on
the Cancel icon button in the Assistant Palette or, finally, use the keyboard shortcut
(Ctrl+Z on PC; Command+Z on Mac).
Proceed as follow to delete all the objects contained
in a scene:
1. Do not select any element in the scene. The cursor is
displayed as the Wand.
2. Click on the Trash icon.
3. Everything disappears!
If you erase the scene by mistake, do not panic.
Cancellation of the operation is possible just after you have set the Catalog tool aside
(select Cancel in the Edit menu or click on the Cancel icon button in the Assistant
Palette or, finally, use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Z on PC; Command+Z on Mac.)
Proceeding this way, the view will automatically go back to
the standard Amapi 3D view adopted when you open a new scene.
