4 Ways to Quickly Toggle between Recent Tools in Cinema 4D
Toggle between Selection and Manipulation Tools, or Select from the Last 8 Tools Used. Cinema 4D offers a few ways to quickly access the tool you need, which are particularly handy when modeling. Use the Spacebar to toggle between the most recent selection and manipulation tool, or access the last 8 tools used from the Active Tool palette. This dynamic palette normally appears just to the right of the move, scale and rotate tools, but you can also access it via the HUD or dock it as a custom palette anywhere in your Cinema 4D interface. |

Focus Your Work with Cinema 4D’s Full Screen Mode and Collapsed Palettes
Eliminate UI clutter in C4D and work effectively in a single-monitor layout with Full Screen Mode and Collapsed Palettes. With Cinema 4D’s Full Screen Mode and collapsible palettes and managers, you can minimize interface clutter and focus on specific managers. To activate Full Screen Mode, simply hover over the desired manager and hit Ctrl-Tab. A special version of Full Screen Mode accessible with Ctrl-Shift-Tab maximizes a group of related managers, and Ctrl-F in the Picture Viewer offers a chromeless view of your final render. Middle-clicking (or Ctrl-Left Clicking) on the grabber element at the front of each palette or in the upper left corner of each manager will collapse that element, getting it out of the way but still accessible with a simple click when you need it. |
