     18||'''Selection'''[[BR]]Use the right mouse button to select an object in 3D-View, for example the cube, which has been there from the beginning. It will be marked with a pink border. Initially it might be confusing to select an object with the right mouse button. Practise it a few times and hopefully you will soon get used to it. This is a frequent point of criticism against the Blender GUI.||[[Image(select.png, right)]]||
     19||'''3D-Cursor'''[[BR]]Left-clicking in empty space sets the 3D-Cursor coordinates. The 3D-Cursor is used for many things, for example to place new objects.[[BR]][[BR]]Remember that you can only specify two coordinates, so you might have to repeat this from another point of view.||[[Image(cursor.png, right)]]||
     20||'''Adding Objects'''[[BR]]To add a new object, set the 3D-Cursor to a point of your choice and hit the space bar. In the appearing menu, select Add -> Mesh -> ... to ad a new geometric object to your scene. It will be created at the position of the 3D-Cursor.[[BR]][[BR]]Blender will probably switch into Edit mode automatically, but we don't want that for now, so hit TAB to exit Edit mode. We will discuss Edit mode later.[[BR]][[BR]]'''Note:''' You can delete a selected Object by pressing X.||[[Image(add.png, right)]]||
