In addition, the texture of the object is shown in white. Depending on the projection type set, the texture appears as a surface, wrapped around a sphere or around a cylinder (ws Basics 16.).

The texture is represented by a number of dashed grid lines. Their axes are marked with the letters "X" and "Y". Because the texture is only two-dimensional (an image has no depth information), there is no z-axis.

To "drag" an object, you must first activate the part that you want to change. In the case of a robot, for example, this can be the arm. If you now start the "drag" action with the mouse, MaxonCINEMA 4D determines which of the activated objects is the closest to the mouse click. This object can now be "dragged". All hierarchically superordinate objects follow it within the specified framework.

If the active object is rotated in world or screen coordinates, then the selected world or screen axis is not used for the rotation, but an axis parallel to it and passing through the object origin. Otherwise the active object would not only be rotated, but at the same time the origin of the object coordinate system would rotate around the selected axis.

You can only rotate around one axis at a time. You control the rotation by moving the mouse left and right. It doesn't matter which of the two mouse buttons you hold down. You can use the "X", "Y" and "Z" symbols to tell the program about which axis you want to rotate.

Here you define the coordinate system in which you want to carry out an action. The three systems screen, object and world are available to you ([Basics 6]04-Basics.md#6-coordinate-systems)).
The world system is primarily used to position objects in a scene. The object system, on the other hand, is very useful for scaling individual objects, while the screen system simplifies working with the editor camera. Which system you use depends entirely on your individual case. Feel free to try out the different systems with their different effects to get a feel for it.

Set the desired screen mode under **"Mode"** (Basics 18.). The entry "Cinema screen" always appears first in the selection list. If you select it, the image calculation takes place on the MaxonCINEMA 4D editor screen. Basically, this setting is more convenient, since no new screen has to be opened. However, there are also disadvantages. This is how the editor occupies the first 8 colors of the screen. Associated with this is a lower quality of the output image. It is optimal if the image is only used as a preview and is also saved as a 24-bit file on the hard drive. If the editor is operated in "HAM-8" mode, the output images achieve excellent quality.

For the calculation of animations, you should always redirect the image output to a separate screen. Because the output in a window on the editor screen means more effort for the Amiga operating system, so that the image calculation runs a little slower. However, since such times easily add up with an animation, you should use your own screen.
