Join George Maestri for an in-depth discussion in this video Selecting objects, part of Learning Maya LT.
- Now let's take a look at how to select…and manipulate objects in Maya LT.…Now, in Maya LT,…as well as in Maya,…we can select objects…simply by left clicking on them.…Now, we have a Select Tool here…and if we enable that…and left click,…the object will highlight in green.…And again,…I can just left click on any number of objects…to select them.…Now, if I want to select multiple objects,…we can do that in several ways.…The easiest way…is to select an object,…hold down the Shift key…and then select More.…
Now notice how…when I select multiple objects…the last object selected…is highlighted in green.…Now, this isn't important…for what we're doing here,…but later on,…as you dig in to Maya LT,…the last object selected can be important.…So just remember that.…Now, if we want to deselect objects,…all we have to do again…is hold down the Shift key.…So if I hold down my Shift key,…I can deselect.…If I deselect the last object selected…it will go ahead…and just move down the line.…
Now another way to select multiple objects…is to simply left click and drag.…
