Introduction

In contrast to the classic mode, the Conceptual Selector uses the full-blown 3D model, materials, lighting, adjustable scale and editing capability. User will be able to edit selector geometry, materials, the set of handles, response to mouse movements, etc.
All data about the manipulator is stored in TCW Profiles , which is accessible for editing. GCtrlProfiles folder contains selector variants (profiles), and Samples subfolder - additional Samples. User can create and use his own profiles.
Tentative plan for TC 2015 is to use the Conceptual Selector not only for the selector, but also for Edit tool, Dynamic Cut Plane, Edit work plane. In future it is planned to apply the new technology to all draggers.
At the moment Conceptual Selector is available only in Model Space and only for the 3D mode of selector. However, it is not a problem to create a 2D manipulator because this technology allows creating a manipulator of any number of dimensions (1D – movement along an axis, 2D, 3D). It is a question of future specification.
Using RedSDK imposes certain restrictions. Conceptual Selector can be displayed only in RedSDK windows. When objects in non-RedSDK windows are edited, it will automatically mean that the classic selector mode will be used.
