Selections
Overview
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.
How to open Selection Manager
Selection Manager can be accessed from the selection tools panel.
Selection Manager can also be opened from the Interactions settings tab, under the Selection section.
How to create a new Selection
Select the required objects either in the left panel or directly on the canvas. Then, right-click to open the context menu and choose Create new selection.
If the Selection Manager is open, clicking + Selection will create a new selection from the currently selected objects.
