Clicking the Right mouse button in the graphics window will bring up a menu. One of two menus will appear, depending on whether an entity is currently selected.
| Menu Option | Description | Entity Type(s) |
| Select Other... | Brings up a dialog with alternate entity selections | All |
| Select Similar Volume | Selects other volumes with the same geometric volume and number of surfaces | Volumes |
| Select Similar Surface | Selects other surfaces with the same area and number of curves | Surfaces |
| Select Blend Chain | Selects other surfaces in the same blend chain that have the same radius of curvature | Blend surfaces |
| Select Cavity | Selects other surfaces in the same cavity collection. Surfaces bounded by curves where the external angle is greater than 180 degrees. | Cavity surfaces |
| Select Similar Curves | Selects other curves with the same length | Curves |
| Select by Name | Selects other entities with the same name. Includes entities with the same name prefix prior to the "@" character if it exists. | Geometry entities |
| Pick Extended... | Brings up dialog for extended selection. Related entites can be selected using custom criteria defined from a python script. | Surfaces |
| Menu Option | Description | Entity Type(s) |
| Zoom To | Zoom to the selected entity | All |
| Rotate About | Center of rotation is changed to the centroid of the selected entity(s) | All |
| Locate | Text label with line pointing to entity is displayed | All |
| Draw | Clears the graphics window and draws the selected entity(s) | All |
| Draw Elements | Brings up a secondary menu with options to Draw specific 3D mesh entity types (without geometry). | Meshed Volumes |
| Draw Normal | Displays an arrow from the center of the selected surface in the direction of its normal. Also colors surface indicating orientation. | Geometry Entities |
| Draw With Neighbors | Clears the graphics window and displays the selected entity(s) along with entities sharing a common vertex | Geometry Entities |
| Draw With Nearby Volumes | Draws the selected volume(s) along with volumes that are within a small distance | Volumes |
| Draw Volume Overlap | Draws the curves in the selected volume(s) as well as any volume it overlaps. The region shared between the overlapping volumes will be displayed in red | Volumes |
| Isolate | Turn off visibility for all entities except the selected entity(s) | Geometry Entities |
| Visibility Off | Turn off the visibility of the selected entity(s) | Geometry Entities |
| Menu Option | Description | Entity Type(s) |
| Add to Group/BC | Opens a dialog box for adding the selected entity to an existing boundary condition or group | All |
| Remove from Group/BC | Opens a dialog box for removing the selected entity from an existing boundary condition or group | All |
| Mesh | Mesh the selected entities using the current meshing scheme and size settings | Unmeshed Geometry Entities |
| Delete Mesh | Deletes the mesh from the selected entities using the "propagate" option. (Deletes mesh entities on lower order entities.) | Meshed Geometry Entities |
| Show Quality | Displays the mesh quality of the selected entities to the output window. | Meshed Geometry Entities |
| Measure | When a single entity is selected, displays to the output window the geometric length, area or volume. When two entities are selected, displays the closest distance between the entities. | Geometry Entities |
| List Information | Show a menu with additional options for listing information about the selected entities. List Basic Info: Lists connectivity and associated lower order entities. Geometry: Basic info plus additional geometric information such as centroid, bounding box, surface area etc. List Mesh Info: Basic info plus additional information about the associated mesh. | All |
| Save Selection As... | Brings up a File Browser to save the currently selected entities as a cub file. | Geometry Entities |
| Delete | Deletes the selected geometry entities | Free Geometry Entities |
| Remove | Removes a surface using the remove surface command. | Surfaces in Volumes |
| Menu Option | Description | Entity Type(s) |
| Refresh Display | Clears temporary graphics a refreshes display of current geometry and mesh. | All |
| Draw Mesh | Displays any existing mesh entities without geometry. | Meshed Entities and Free Mesh |
| Reset Zoom | Reset graphics viewing options to original settings. | All |
| All Visible | Reset visibility status to ON for all entities and display. | All |
| Display Options... | Opens the Display Options Dialog to set graphics window characteristics such as background color, lighting, triad options etc. | All |
