13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Rendering preferences Rendering preferences Rendering Preferred renderer You can select your preferred renderer. This is the renderer that Maya resets to when you create a new scene (File > New Scene) or when you start Maya. This can be one of Maya Software, Maya Hardware, Maya Vector (if loaded), or mental ray (if loaded). Selection preferences Modifiers Modifiers control Maya selection operations. They work with masks to control what is displayed when you select items. You can turn on one or more of the following: Single marquee select Selects the first object in a hierarchy. Click drag select Lets you perform one-step click-dragging with the transformation tools. You can move one object using the Move Tool, then click a second object and the Move Tool displays. This means you do not have to select the object and the Move Tool again-you can keep using the Move Tool on any subsequent selected object. The default is off. Affects active If you change from object to component selection mode, the selected object is not affected. This option lets you select objects and components at the same time. The default is on. Pick chooser When objects overlap in the view, lets you display a pop-up list of the objects so you can select them. Left-click the overlap area to display the menu. The default is off. Your selection is highlighted in the scene view as you select an item in this list. Currently-selected items are marked with a box when the list appears. (This was formerly called Popup Menu selection.) Basics 432
