- Breaking to several objects using Detach mode.
- Creating a Copy of the object.
- Uniting of objects and vertices
- Changing the objects' name.

       Modeler has some methods to operate objects: combining them and breaking apart. This methods are in the Create.../Objects... branch:
       Detach method detaches face (or selected faces) from the object and creates the new object named Detach. The technique of breaking the object apart is the floowing:
1) Switches to the faces level.
1) Select the faces in the source object and switch Selected mode ON.
1) Left-click and drag to detach selected faces:
       A dialog box will apper where you should enter the new bojects' name:
       The selected faces have been detached from the object and became the newer object. If you need to leave the original you can hold down the SHIFT key when pressing the left mouse button.


       Copy method can copy the object. It can also copy the selected group of objects into the one object. For creating the copy you can left-click and drag.


       UniteSelect method works on objects level and on vertices level. On objects level it groups the selected object into the new one. On vertices level it works with selected vertices: the new vertex is created, all the faces that used any of selected vertices will use this vertex inseted and the selected vertices will be removed from the object. Here the example of the uniting:


       Object naming might be greatly used by some filters and might also need to name objects at runtime. To change the object name you must call the attributes dialog, that will be fully described in Attributes topic. First of all, the attributes dialog works with selection and you must select the object before changing the name. You should switch to objects level, select one object and press the Ctrl-A keys to activate the dialog box:
       Here you can also see some information about the object: its vertex count and faces count, whether it is hidden, disabled or not. But all you need for now is it's name. Change it and click OK.
