STRUCTURE MANAGER • 1137
23. Structure Manager
Data is shown only if the selected object is editable. To make a primitive editable, select the primitive
and choose Functions > Make Editable.
Like a spreadsheet, the Structure manager processes data directly within cells that are divided into
rows and columns. You can edit data numerically for points (including spline points), polygons, UVW
coordinates or vertex maps. The Structure manager shows the data for these items of the selected
object. Choose which type of data is shown from the Mode menu.
Choose whether the Structure manager displays the data of points, polygons, UVW coordinates, vertex
maps or n-gons.
If you want to edit data for a UVW map or a vertex map and the object has more than one of these
maps, in the Object manager select the desired map to display its data in the Structure manager.
Values in the cells can be edited directly and lines can be moved by means of drag-and-drop. Cut,
copy, paste are supported. Larger quantities of data can be processed rapidly, even if the object has
a large number of points or polygons. The selection frame (a red frame around an active box) shows
you which data you are working on; navigating around the table is thus very simple.
