Paste Instanced Pastes an instance of the modifier into the stack. The modifier instance appears above the currently selected object or modifier, unless it is a world space modifier, in which case it is pasted at the top of the stack. You can paste a modifier instance from one object into the stack of a different object. Paste Instanced is unavailable when more than one modifier is selected in the stack. Make Unique Converts an instanced modifier to a copy that's unique to the current object. This button is unavailable unless the modifier you right-clicked is instanced. See Make Unique on page 7654. Collapse To Collapses a portion of the stack. Collapse To is unavailable unless you select one or more modifiers in the stack. Using Collapse To collapses all stack items from the object itself, up to and including the uppermost selected stack item. If there are modifiers above the uppermost selection, they are not changed. The resultant object type depends on the uppermost modifier that outputs a specific geometry type, if any. If the stack contains no such modifier, the result is an editable mesh on page 2075. If the collapsed portion of the stack contains a modifier that outputs a specific geometry type, and no other such modifier is above it, the result is that type of object. For example, if the topmost such collapsed modifier is Edit Poly, the resultant object is Editable Poly. Collapse All Collapses the entire stack. The resulting stack list shows a single entry: Editable Mesh, unless any modifiers on the stack output a different type of geometry. For example, if the topmost such modifier is Edit Poly, the resultant object is Editable Poly. NOTE World-space modifiers on page 1113 don't collapse along with the rest of the stack. Convert To This menu item appears if no modifiers are applied to the object. Choose one of the Convert To options: ■ Editable Mesh ■ Editable Spline ■ Editable Patch ■ Editable Poly ■ NURBS 7652 | Chapter 25 User Interface
