Creating a New Mass Object

BHS -> Staff -> Mr. Stanbrough ->IP How-To Notes -> this page

• Select a mass-object icon from the tool bar. The choices are:
  • Rectangle ()
  • Square () - in the rectangle menu of the tool bar
  • Circle ()
• To place the object, click the mouse in the workspace for a default-size object, or click and drag the mouse for a custom size.

Tips:

• You can change the size of the object at any time by selecting it with the mouse and dragging one of the sizing-boxes.
• You can change the position of the object by dragging it with the mouse, or make precise adjustments using the Properties Window.
• You can also change the properties of the object (mass, velocity, etc.) using the Properties Window.
• If you are creating multiple objects of the same type, you can double-click on the object icon and create them all without returning to the tool bar for each one.
