If you call up the context menu outside the component, different context menu commands appear than if you right-click on the component itself.

Call outside a component

If you right-click on the free area in the 3D view, a non-part-related context menu appears.

Docking window "3D view [3D view] " Context menu outside the component

Docking window "3D view [3D view] " Context menu outside the component

Call within a component

However, if you right-click on a component, you will see a context menu with different options depending on the component.

Context menu on a component with a straight surface

Docking window "3D view [3D view]" Context menu on a component with a straight surface

Context menu on a component with a curved surface

Docking window "3D view" Context menu on a curved surface

Docking window "3D view" Context menu on a curved surface

Context menu on the side wall of an ellipse

Docking window "3D view" Context menu on the side wall of an ellipse

Component surfaces with few or no configuration options in the context menu

Component surfaces with few or no configuration options in the context menu

The context menu is severely restricted for some shapes or surfaces of a component. These include the side wall of an ellipse, the connecting surfaces of a sweep and the individual parts of pipes.

For the side wall of an ellipse, you can view/add or change the surface attributes, edit the base surfaces and add a chamfer/rounding.

The context menu of the connecting surfaces of a sweep, the individual parts of pipes, points and lines only offer editing of the basic surfaces.
