Drag/Rotate Sets dragging a sample slot to rotate mode. When on, dragging in the sample slot rotates the sample object. This helps you preview the material. Drag over the object to rotate it about its X or Y axis; drag in the corners of the sample slot to rotate the object about its Z axis. In addition, if you press Shift before dragging in the center, the rotation is constrained to the vertical or horizontal axis, depending on your initial drag direction. If you have a three-button mouse and are using Windows NT, the middle mouse button rotates the sample object while Drag/Copy mode is active. Reset Rotation Resets the sample object to its default orientation. Render Map Renders the current map, creating a bitmap or an AVI file (if the map is animated). Only the current map level renders. That is, the rendering shows the image displayed when Show End Result is turned off. If you're at a material level instead of a map level, this menu item is disabled. Options Displays the Material Editor Options dialog on page 5335. This is an alternative to clicking the Options button. Magnify Generates a magnified view of the current sample slot. The magnified sample is displayed in its own, floating (modeless) window. You can display up to 24 magnified windows, but you can't display the same sample slot in more than one magnified window at a time. You can resize magnify windows. Clicking a magnify window activates the sample slot, and vice versa. Shortcut Double-click a sample slot to display the magnified window. The magnify window's title bar displays the contents of the editable material name field on page 5360. It varies depending on which level of the material is active. Sample Slots | 5309
