Anarkik3DDesign guides to functions & shortcut keys and function related keys
Anarkik3DDesign guide to functions & shortcut keys are handy and easy to use for this 3D modelling programme. They also include the diagram of the Falcon grasp. These documents can be printed out for quick and easy reference. Click on the links below.
Cloud9_V3_1-tutorial_2019: this is a list of functions that can be used as a tutorial as it includes information and tips about using the menu tools, Falcon buttons and tips.
Shortcut keys list : Global Shortcut Keys on PC and some for Mac keyboards, and Function related shortcut keys for use with the relevant functions. We have come across differences regarding the PC keyboard functions, the Mac keyboard functions and international laptop keyboard functions. As these differences affect the functions that Anarkik3DDesign uses, we are pulling as many of these together into a sheet that can be downloaded and used to help with your design flow!
| Global, specific shortcuts | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+C | Copy selected object(s) |
| Ctrl+V | Paste cut/copied object(S) at cursor position |
| Ctrl+F | Paste cut/copied object(s) in exact position object(s) copied at |
| Ctrl+X | Cut selected object(s) |
| Ctrl+Z | Undo |
| Ctrl+A | Select all objects |
| Delete | Delete selected objects |
| M | Move object |
| R | Rotate object |
| Q | Selects Scale |
| H | Selects Deform |
| W | Zoom in |
| S | Zoom out |
| A | Pan left |
| D | Pan right |
| E | Up |
| F | Down |
| Shift-Print Screen / SysRq | Screen capture without any GUI and 3D cursor |
| F1 | Quick help |
| Tab | Round-Robin style object selection |
| Esc (Escape) | Switch-off haptics (for duration it is pressed down) |
| Page Down key | Toggle between X-Y, Y-Z and Z-X planes (in the order) |
| Up and Down Arrow Keys | Moves selected Z-X, Y-Z and X-Y planes in incremental stages |
| Functions | Shortcut key that are relevant to this function/command |
|---|---|
| Line | Press x, y, or z to constrain line along selected axis. |
| Use slider bar in menu to change cursor size. | |
| Select Object | Shift + back Falcon button : Multiple select |
| Falcon back button (and no objects touched): Point and select objects | |
| Ctrl + Falcon back button (and no objects touched): Point and deselect objects | |
| Scale Object | Q: keyboard shortcut to select Scale function |
| Press Shift while scaling: Non-uniformly scales the selected object | |
| Press X, Y, Z, XY, YZ or XZ while scaling: Object will scale along selected axis/axes | |
| Rotate Object | R: easy toggle for rotate function |
| Press X, Y or Z while rotating: The objects rotates around the respective axis | |
| Mirror | Press X, Y or Z: the plane rotates around the respective axis |
| Boolean | 1: to switch between objects for subtraction. Mesh object subtracted from solid object |
| S: subtract one selected object (shown as mesh using 1 button) from another selected object | |
| U: union of 2 selected objects | |
| I: for intersection of 2 selected objects | |
| Deform | H: keyboard shortcut to select Deform function |
| Esc: this key switches haptics off. Hold down while gently moving cursor inside form in order to pull surface out. | |
| Press x, y, or z to constrain deforming along selected axis. | |
| Use slider bar in menu to change cursor size for small (left) to large (right) for different effects. | |
| Use Stiffness slider bar in menu to change object surface property from soft (left) to hard (right) for different effects. |
