The methods in this class are grouped below.

(Links go to the BaseObject Class Reference page.)

Object Name and Create Callback

BaseObject::GetObjectName()
BaseObject::GetCreateMouseCallBack

Named Selection Sets

A modifier that supports sub-object selection can choose to support named sub-object selection sets. Methods in the interface passed to objects allow them to add items to the sub-object selection set drop down list in the 3ds Max toolbar. A modifier that wishes to support this capability maintains its list of named sub-object selections. When the user enters sub-object selection mode the modifier adds its named selection sets into the drop down (using Interface::AppendSubObjectNamedSelSet()). See the Advanced Topics section on Sub-Object Selection for details.
BaseObject::SupportsNamedSubSels
