Select Mode

As standard, this mode is mutually exclusive to the navigation modes so that when you are selecting, you cannot navigate and vice versa.

Select mode allows you to click on an item in the main navigation window to select it. Once a single item is selected, its properties will be shown in the Properties control bar.

You can select multiple items in the main navigation window using the familiar Windows methods of holding down the Control key while selecting items. This will add them to the current selection. Alternatively, if the items are already in the current selection, holding down Control while selecting them again will remove them from the current selection.

Holding the Shift key whilst selecting items in the main navigation window will cycle through the selection resolution, allowing you to get more specific with your selections. See Selection Resolution for more information on this.

To select an item
