Selecting All Objects in a Selected Area in the 3D Window

You can select an area in the 3D Window and edit all the objects within the area.

To select objects in a selected area in the 3D Window:

1.     On the Home tab, in the Edit group, click the arrow under Select and then click Area Selection.

2.     In the 3D Window, select the area polygon points by clicking the mouse. You must select at least three points in the 3D Window.

3.     Set the selection area by right-clicking. All objects within this selection area are marked with yellow selection frames.

Note:        The individual objects are only marked with the yellow selection frames once the selection process is complete.

Note:        Do not overlap the lines of the selection polygon with each other. This may result in an erroneous selection.

Note:        You can repeat steps 2 and 3 several times until you get the required selection.

4.     Right-click on one of the selected objects, and then from the shortcut menu, select Properties.

The Multi-Edit property sheet opens.

Note:    The area selection tool does not affect the selection in the Project Tree.

To turn off the Area Selection mode:

§  On the Home tab, in the Edit group, click the arrow under Select and then toggle off the Area Selection command.
