Reference Entity Toolbar

The Reference Entity toolbar provides you quick access to the Points, Vectors, Markers, Curves, Deformable Curves, Surfaces, Deformable Surfaces, Graphics, and Bodies panels.

Reference Entity toolbar

Left-click the corresponding button on the toolbar to set the filter for picking items in the graphics area to the currently selected entity/panel only, or right-click to display the the Add "Entity" dialog (which is used to add entities to the current model):

	Points	Allows you to create points and to edit point coordinates.
	Bodies	Allows you to edit the mass properties, orientation rules, and initial conditions for bodies.
	Vectors	Allows you to create vectors and to edit vector components.
	Markers	Allows you to create markers and to edit location and orientation rules for markers.
	Curves	Allows you to create and edit curves. Curves hold x-y data for nonlinear properties. This panel has similar options as the Define Curves panel in HyperGraph.
	Spline3D	Allows you to add and edit three dimensional spline data.
	Graphics	Allows you to change the graphical attributes of entities in your model. Graphical attributes include color, state, and rendering method.
	Surfaces	Allows you to create surfaces for use with advanced joint entities.
	Deformable Curves	Allows you to create and edit deformable curves. These curves can change their shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.
	Deformable Surfaces	Allows you to create and edit deformable surfaces. These entities can change shape during the simulation and can be used with advanced joints and contacts.
