# New object

The **New Object** tool adds a new object to the scene, which starts empty and requires manual geometry input. <br>

#### Use cases

* **Creating a new object from scratch** – useful for modeling separate elements directly in Edit Mode.

* **Extracting part of an existing object** – to detach geometry into a separate object:<br>

  1. select the desired part of the object
  2. press **Ctrl + X** to cut it
  3. create a **New Object**
  4. press **Ctrl + V** to paste the cut geometry into the new object

* **Alternative detach method** – geometry can also be detached into a separate object without manually creating a new one:<br>
  1. select the desired geometry
  2. open the context menu by right-clicking
  3. select **Cut to New Object**  (**`Ctrl+Shift+X`**)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/edit-mode/new-object.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
