In busy 3D environments with many objects, it can be helpful to filter certain subobjects out of the selection highlighting.
| 0 | When subobject filtering is off, press Ctrl+click to select a face, edge, vertex or a history subobject. (Shift-F1) |
| 1 | Only vertices are available for selection (Shift-F2) |
| 2 | Only edges are available for selection. (Shift-F3) |

Turn off subobject filtering if you want to select the entire object. You can also press Ctrl-click to select faces, edges, and vertices.
