Area selection

An Area selection is when the user draws a selection rectangle (mouse drag) in the viewport.

Use the following controls to select parts with Area selection:

Combinations Description
Image
Left-click + Selection area		 Select only occurrences visible from the camera view and crossed by the selection rectangle
Image
CTRL Key + SHIFT Key + Left-click + Selection area		 Add to the current selection only occurrences visible from the camera view and crossed by the selection rectangle
Image SHIFT Key + Left-click + Selection area Remove from the current selection only occurrences visible from the camera view and crossed by the selection rectangle
Image
Right-click + Selection area		 Select all occurrences from the scene crossed by the selection rectangle ("in-depth" selection)
Image CTRL Key +
SHIFT Key + Right-click + Selection area		 Add to the current selection all occurrences from the scene crossed by the selection rectangle ("in-depth" selection)
Image
SHIFT Key + Right-click + Selection area		 Remove from the current selection all occurrences from the scene crossed by the selection rectangle ("in-depth" selection)
Warning

"In-depth" selection with the Mouse Right-Click will select all the parts comprised in the selection rectangle, including occluded parts (meaning entirely hidden by other parts). Contrary to selection with the Mouse Left-Click that will not select occluded parts.

Note

All parts crossed by the selection rectangle will be selected: they do not need to be entirely in the rectangle to be selected (one pixel is enough).
