Elements can be selected in the 3D scene only if they fulfill the active set of element's type filters. Filters are displayed either in the filter toolbar or in the system toolbar. Active filters are highlighted in blue color. Click a filter's icon to activate or deactivate it. Following filters are available in the command standby mode:
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<W> |
Select Workplanes and Worksurfaces |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Z> |
Select 3D Nodes |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<L> |
Select LCS |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<R> |
Select 3D Profiles/3D Paths |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<X> |
Select Operations |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Q> |
Select Faces |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<E> |
Select Edges |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<K> |
Select Loops |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<V> |
Select Vertices |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<M> |
Select Other Elements |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<J> |
||
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<U> |
If all filters are active, geometric entities (faces, edges, loops) are usually suggested for selection upon hovering the cursor over a body.
When 3D modeling commands are launched, the set of available filters changes depending on active input boxes in command's parameters window and active automenu options. In this case, some of the filters mentioned above might be unavailable and some of the following additional options might be available, such as:
|
Worksurface |
|
|
Select an array |
|
|
Select 3D Fragments |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<R> |
Select 3D Profiles (unlike the similar option mentioned above, this option doesn't include 3D Paths selection) |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<H> |
Select 3D Paths |
|
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<S> |
Select 3D Sections |
Beside 3D elements selection filters mentioned above, 2D elements selection filters may also be available if an active command supports creating 3D elements based on 2D elements (e.g.: 3D Profile by 2D Elements).
