Delete Bug?

Delete Bug?

I'm brand new to Cheetah3D (and 3D for that matter) so I've been doing a lot of playing to figure out how things work. I've noticed a couple of issues with deleting objects.

1) The <Del> key on my keyboard never works.

2) Once I've double-clicked a polygon to make it editable, none of my objects can be deleted unless I save the file, close it and re-open it. Then, I can delete (using the Edit menu) until I make another object editable. At that point, I lose my ability to delete again.

3) Once an object is made editable and I cannot delete entire objects, I can still delete surfaces on objects using the Edit menu.

Cheetah 3D: 2.2b3
Mac OSX: 10.3.9
Dual 800 MHz G4
1.25 G Ram

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
 
Make sure you are in object mode when you try to delete your editable polygon. I have an iBook G4 which has no delete key so I use the backspace key instead.
Hope this helps.
:D
 
A 3) Are you in object editting mode? (you can find the modes at the top of your screen, choose the right one of the four).

Thanks for your help! Mystery solved.

Switching to object editing mode solved one problem and using the delete key that is in the "backspace position" solved the other!

The other <Del> key is still dead, but I only need one...

Sanity restored.
