When you right-click the active sample slot, a pop-up menu is displayed. For other sample slots, click or right-click once to select them, then right-click to use the pop-up menu.
The pop-up menu is available in magnified sample slot windows. See the "Magnify" option, below.
The pop-up menu has these options:
Sets dragging a sample slot to rotate mode. When on, dragging in the sample slot rotates the sample object. This helps you preview the material. Drag over the object to rotate it about its X or Y axis; drag in the corners of the sample slot to rotate the object about its Z axis. In addition, if you press Shift before dragging in the center, the rotation is constrained to the vertical or horizontal axis, depending on your initial drag direction.
If you have a three-button mouse and are using Windows NT, the middle mouse button rotates the sample object while Drag/Copy mode is active.
Displays the Material Editor Options dialog. This is an alternative to clicking the Options button.
Generates a magnified view of the current sample slot. The magnified sample is displayed in its own, floating (modeless) window. You can display up to 24 magnified windows, but you can't display the same sample slot in more than one magnified window at a time. You can resize magnify windows. Clicking a magnify window activates the sample slot, and vice versa.
Double-click a sample slot to display the magnified window.
The magnify window's title bar displays the contents of the editable material name field. It varies depending on which level of the material is active.
If the active material uses maps that are tracked assets (typically bitmap textures), opens the Asset Tracking dialog with the assets highlighted.
This choice is unavailable if the material has no maps, or the maps it uses are not tracked.
