There are two ways to do this:
q Validating the action:
Þ Through the Assistant Palette: Click on the “OK” button.
or
Þ Through the keyboard: Press the Return key.
Validating the action will drop the tool. The Wand selection tool will be available again to select another tool or a different object.
q Putting the tool aside:
Þ If you have chosen the “Workshop” interface: Move the cursor outside of the scene through the right hand side of the screen and then back in to put the tool aside. You will then be able to select another object or tool.
Þ If you have chosen the “Standard” interface (dropping the tool is automatic):
Þ Select another tool to continue to work on the current object.
Or
Þ Select a construction tool to build a new object.
