Template.c4d
If the CINEMA 4D root folder contains a scene named ‘Template.c4d’, this is loaded during startup
and all the settings dened there become effective.
Quitting CINEMA 4D
File > Quit quits the program. If any unsaved changes are detected, a dialog asks you if you wish to
save these before quitting. Clicking on Cancel in this dialog returns you to the program.
To save the layout automatically each time you quit the program, open the
Preferences and on the Common page enable the Save Layout At Program
End option.
Mouse techniques
CINEMA 4D gives you these extra mouse features:
 To simulate the right mouse button on the Mac, Command-click.
 If you want to drag an object onto a window displayed as a tab but the
window is behind another tab, drag and hold the object over the window’s
tab. After a short delay, the window will become the front tab and you can
drop the object on the target. Where you drag les to (nder/explorer) is
important. If, for example, you drop a texture onto an object, a new texture
will automatically be created and a Texture Tag will be created in that texture’s
color channel. Scripts can also be executed by dragging and dropping them
into the editor view.
 If you are using a wheel mouse, you can rotate the wheel to scroll sliders such
as a material’s brightness sliders or the Time slider. You can also use the wheel
to increment and decrement numbers in numerical text boxes.
