Selection Options

Use the Selection options to configure how you select items in the JetStream scene. You can set the level at which you select items (selection resolution), the distance from an item you have to be for it to be selected (useful for lines and points) and also the color in which selected items are displayed.

    Setting selection options

    Go to Tools, Global Options, Selection

    The Selection dialog is displayed

  1. To set the color that selected items are displayed in, click the Color button. The default highlight color is blue. Alternatively, check the None check box to disable selected item highlighting (items won't change color when selected).

  2. Enter the radius, in pixels, that an item has to be within in order for it to be selected in the Radius box.

  3. Choose the level of selection that you wish to use as the default selection resolution

  4. Choose what level of detail you wish to see in the Compact selection tree. Models will restrict the tree to just displaying model files, Layers will restrict it down to the layer level and Objects will show a similar tree to the Standard tree, but without the levels of instancing inserted above an inserted block.

  5. Click OK to set the options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
