Select Chains of Walls and Lines

If multiple elements (such as walls and/or lines) are joined in a continuous chain, you can select the entire chain.

The chain can include different types of elements.

To select a chain of walls or lines

  1. Highlight any one of the elements in the chain.
  2. Press Tab.

    All elements in the chain are highlighted.

  3. Click to select the entire chain.

Valid chains for selection:

Four walls joined

Four area separation lines joined

Walls and area separation lines joined

If multiple walls are joined at the same point, the chain continues along the wall that makes the smallest angle with the one currently highlighted. Walls joined at mid-end faces can also be included in a chain selection.

As shown in the following illustration of a selected chain of walls, drag controls display at the coincident endpoints. You can drag these controls to new locations without unjoining the endpoints.
