Selections

Previous2D to 3DNextComments

Last updated 1 month ago

Selection is a virtual group of multiple objects that are independent of the object list structure. This allows multiple objects from different groups to be combined without changing the project structure. The resulting selection can then be specified in the settings of various tools and features.

Two ways to create a selection:

  1. Context menu by selecting two or more objects

    • select the desired objects on the canvas or left panel

    • call the context menu with the right mouse button

    • choose Create new selection

    • enter a name and click Create

  2. In interactions:

    • select the desired objects on the canvas or left panel

    • click on the plus icon

A selection can be renamed at any time from the drop-down list

Create a selection once and reuse it for other settings

Unused selections will be automatically deleted when you exit the project
