Which method in Rhino 3D modeling software allows selection of objects by drawing a box?
Drawing a box from left to right
What is the purpose of the Trimming command in Rhino 3D modeling software?
To indicate when the trimming process is finished
In Rhino 3D modeling software, what is the difference between Document Properties and Rhino Options?
Document Properties are settings that stay with the file, while Rhino Options are settings that stay with the installation
What happens when different users log in to Rhino 3D modeling software on the same computer and adjust settings under Rhino Options?

Study Notes
- The text discusses various ways to select objects in Rhino 3D modeling software.
- Basic clicking method: Clicking on objects to highlight and select them. Shift key can be used to add more objects to selection, while Control key can be used to deselect.
- Drawing a box: Selecting objects by drawing a box around them. Going left to right will only select objects that are completely inside the box, while going right to left will select objects that are overlapping.
- Trimming command: Demonstrates the need to explicitly indicate when the trimming process is finished. Rhino doesn't automatically know when the user has finished selecting the objects to be trimmed.
- Document Properties vs. Rhino Options: Document Properties are settings that stay with the file, while Rhino Options are settings that stay with the installation on the computer.
- Customization: Mentioned the customization options like changing the default camera lens and making all layers perfectly black for a better design experience.
- Layers: Preferably having all layers perfectly black to make them visible against the gray background.
- Selecting Objects: Explained different methods for selecting objects, such as basic clicking, shift to add, control to subtract, and drawing a box.
- Overlapping Objects: Demonstrated the importance of understanding the difference between selecting objects that are completely inside the box (to the right) and objects that are overlapping (to the left).
- Trimming Command: Emphasized the importance of explicitly indicating when the trimming process is finished.
- Rhino Options: Mentioned that settings under Rhino Options are saved to the user's computer, and different dollars may result in lost settings if they are using a shared computer.
