Selection and Search Sets

Selection sets are useful for saving a group of items that you might want to regularly perform some action on, such as hiding or changing transparency. They simply store a group of items for later retrieval. There is no intelligence behind this set - if the model changes at all, the same items will be selected (assuming they are still available in the model) when recalling the selection set.

Search sets work in a similar way, except that they save search criteria instead of the results of a selection, so that you can re-run the search at a later date as and when the model changes. See for information on searching the model for items.

Selection and search sets can be named and contain comments. They can also be highlighted with icons in the main navigation window, so that when you click on one, the selection set is restored to the active set and all the items within it are re-selected.
