__NOTOC__
== Carve==
When the Carve button is pressed, the selected brush will subtract its shape from the non-selected brushes around it. See Carve, under the Tools Menu, for more information.
== Group/Ungroup==
Group/Ungroup binds two or more objects together so they may be acted upon simultaneously. See Group, under the Tools Menu, for more information.
== Toggle Group Ignore (CTRL+W)==
Group Ignore allows you to modify individual brushes that are part of a group or entity by temporarily bypassing all object groups. All selection commands work as if there are no groups defined. The Group and Ungroup commands may or may not function while in this mode, depending on how the Allow grouping/ungrouping while Ignore Groups is checked. This option is set in the General Options dialog box. Some commands, such as Tie to Entity, will remove objects from their groups if they are used in this mode. Also see Grouping and VisGrouping for more information on Grouping.
== Hide Selected==
Creates a new VisGroup with the selected objects and hides it. See Hide Selected, under the View Menu, for more information.
== Hide Unselected==
Hides all unselected objects. Identical in function to the Hide Selected function, but applies to all unselected objects. See Hide Selected, under the View Menu, for more information.
== QuickHide Objects (H) ==
Temporarily hides the selected object without placing it in its own Visgroup
== QuickHide Unslected Objects (Ctrl+H) ==
Temporarily hides every other visible object except for the selected object
== Unhide QuickHide Objects (U) ==

== Toggle Select-By-Handles==
When this option is toggled on, you will only be able to select objects by their center "x" handles in the 2D view. This is a shortcut – see Selection box selects by center handles only in the 2D views tab of the Options dialog box for more information.

This is a shortcut to the Automatic infinite selection in 2D windows option in the 2D views tab tab of the Options dialog box.
