Reference for Selection Commands

The selection commands are as follows:

• Select All. Selects all items contained within the model.

• Select None. Deselects everything in the model.

• Invert Selection. Currently selected items become deselected and vice versa.

• Sets. Provides you with options to save and recall selection and search sets.

• Select Multiple Instances. Selects all instances (sometimes called insertions) of the currently selected geometry group that occur in the model.

• Select Same Name. Selects all items in the model that have the same name as the currently selected item.

• Select Same Type. Selects all items in the model that have the same type as the currently selected item.

• Select Same . Selects all items with the same property as the currently selected item. This property can be any searchable property currently attached to the item, for example material or link.

  Note: Using the Select Same command works by comparing items' properties. If you have multiple items selected when you perform a selection command of same name or type and so on, all the types, names and properties of the items in the current selection are compared with all items’ properties in the scene. The items with properties matching any properties of the currently selected items are selected.
