## In the 3D view

Right-clicking on objects in 3D will open a context menu with actions you can take on the object. Depending on the type of 3D object you select, different options will be available.

**Duplicate** will create an identical copy of the object placed to the right of the objects heading.

**Hide object** will hide the object from the view. You can show the object with the default shortcut `shift+h` again.

**Hide controls** will hide the transformation control.

**Auto adjust **will use [Auto-adjust object (3D)](docId\:FhiS5UL2p3AytWYuE-x2r).

**Relative keyframe **will let you use the [Relative keyframe in 3D](docId:1PKhCyGtgWlFQZoHUFTQv) feature.

**View in best frame** will take you to the frame that contains the maximum number of points across all frames.

**Apply quick projection height **will infer the height from the 2D image if you have a 'Quick projection' available. Further reading [2D miniature image](docId\:BUDTV3lL0y3HHQYK8qXGl).

**Unify size **will apply the scale in the current frame to all other frames. Further reading [Unify and alignment in 3D](docId\:PBFeBOt1HFhiMhD6scee7).

**Align heading to trajectory **will align the heading of the object to that of the positions of the trajectory. Further reading [Unify and alignment in 3D](docId\:PBFeBOt1HFhiMhD6scee7).

**Unify direction **will apply the rotation of the object in the current frame to all other frames. Further reading [Unify and alignment in 3D](docId\:PBFeBOt1HFhiMhD6scee7).

**Delete object in 3D **will delete the object in 3D only. If you have a connected 2D object, it will not be removed.

**Remove other keyframes **is available for 3D cuboids. This will remove all keyframes except the current frame.

**Delete object **will delete the object in all views.

## In the 2D view

Right-clicking on objects in 2D will open a context menu with actions you can take on the object. Depending on the type of 2D object you select, different options will be available.

::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/wLEz_RbWP6nIMpY-prjlm/AlK-ITWEoZQJ6jaVo3egK_image.png" size="50" width="455" height="337" position="center" darkWidth="455" darkHeight="337" showCaption="false"}

**Duplicate** will create an identical copy of the object placed to 20 pixels to the right and further down from the current object.

**Delete single polygon** is available for multi [2D polygon](docId\:AHY5X1PfGtBuAEJeGoPnC) ([Multi-polygons in detail](docId:6fNjEKEFrWoRX9zT1N7e9)). This option is available if there are two or more polygons present in the multi polygon and allows you to delete the clicked polygon.

**Split to new object** is available for multi [2D polygon](docId\:AHY5X1PfGtBuAEJeGoPnC) ([Multi-polygons in detail](docId:6fNjEKEFrWoRX9zT1N7e9)). This option is available  if there are two or more polygons present in the multi-polygon and allows you to remove a polygon from the current object and create a new object with it instead.

**Delete object in source **will delete the object in 2D only. If you have a connected 3D object, it will not be removed.

**Delete object **will delete the object in all views.

**Similarity search **this is available for [2D bounding boxes](docId\:TfjsznROmWyAZm4_SMR5C) if the project has been added to the [Dataset Exploration](https://app.archbee.com/docs/a_Z2X5g73vsVY_af9aUDR/5PM0PKUYi6UJyH9uAR6fJ). This feature will open a window and show similar examples to the selected bounding box from the entire dataset.

## In the object list

Right-clicking an object in the object list (the Edit tab of the right-side menu) will open a context menu with actions you can take on the object.

**Duplicate** will create an identical copy of the object.

**Copy name and ID** will copy the object's name and ID to your clipboard.

**Copy full object ID** will copy the object's full ID to your clipboard.

**Edit in Guided Workflow** is available for locked stationary objects in tasks that use a forced stationary Guided Workflow. It will open the object in the Guided Workflow so you can edit it. Further reading: Stationary object locking.

**Delete object in source** will delete the object in the current source only. If the object exists in other sources, it will not be removed there.

**Delete object** will delete the object in all views.
