Search Filter

The Search filter offers you various options for creating selection sets.

The Search filter is an advanced selection tool that allows you to combine selection criteria. Additionally, you can save search criteria for later use. Saved search criteria are stored in the Queries section of the Project Explorer.

You can use object properties or object types to include objects in a highlighted selection set.

The selection criteria can be applied on a defined selection, on a set of highlighted objects or on the whole model.

All elements that fulfil the criteria are highlighted. The objects remain highlighted when you use other tools. It is of no importance how the selection was made.

Note: The highlighted objects can be selected using Select all marked objects tool.
