Procedures To drag scene files from the World Wide Web: 1 In the Address bar, enter the URL of the scene files on the World Wide Web. 2 Select the thumbnail of the scene file with your mouse and drag it over the active viewport. The Internet Download dialog on page 7153 appears. 3 If you want objects placed in the viewport automatically, then in the Options group, turn off Place Objects When Download Completes. 4 If you skipped step 3 (that is, if Place Objects When Download Completes is still on), then when you release the mouse, the objects in the file appear attached to the mouse. Place them where you want them, and then click the mouse. Choose from the menu whether you want to open the file, merge the file to the current scene, or XRef the file. To cancel, you can select from the menu, or right-click. If you hold down the Ctrl key when you drag the thumbnail, the objects in the file are placed at the world space origin of the current scene. To drag thumbnails to the directory tree: 1 In the Asset Browser directory tree, make sure the place you want to copy or move the thumbnail to is visible. 2 Select the thumbnail with your mouse and drag it to the directory tree destination. 3 As a default, if you drag to a folder within the same partition or device, a move is performed. If you drag beyond the current partition or device (to another drive, for example), a copy is performed. If you hold the Ctrl key down, a copy is performed, regardless of the destination. If you hold the Shift key down, a move is performed. To drag bitmaps onto a map slot in the Material Editor: 1 Open the Material Editor and click the Maps rollout. 2 Open the Asset Browser and select the thumbnail of a bitmap with your mouse. 3 Drag the thumbnail to the map button of your choice on the Material Editor Maps rollout. 7134 | Chapter 23 Managing Scenes and Projects
