Selection Commands
Selection commands enable you to quickly alter the current selection using logic. You can select multiple items based on the currently selected items' properties, or quickly invert the set, select everything or nothing.
Go to Edit, Select
Choose the required selection command.
Selecting items with selection commands
Standard selections are:
Select All
All items contained within the model are selected.
Select None
Deselects everything in the model.
Select Invert
Every selected item becomes deselected and vice versa.
Selection Sets
Select Multiple Instances
Selecting an item then selecting Multiple Instances will select all >instances (sometimes called insertions) of that geometry group that occur in the model.
Select Same Name
Every item with the same >name as the selected item will also be selected.
Select Same Type
Every item of the same >type as the selected item will also be selected.
Select Same (property)
Every item with the same property as the selected item will also be selected. The property can be anything from Material Hyperlink or any other searchable property attached to the item.
Note
Selecting Same (property) works by comparing items' properties. If you have multiple items selected when you perform a selection command of same name or type etc., all the types, names and properties of the items in the current selection are compared with all items properties in the scene. Those matching any of the current items selected will be selected.
