Description

The Std BoxElementSelection command selects subelements (1.1 and below: faces or edges; introduced in 26.3: faces, edges or vertices) from a user defined rectangular area, a box, in the 3D View. Multiple box selections can be combined by holding down Ctrl while dragging subsequent boxes.

For each box only a single subelement type is selected:

• 1.1 and below: If the object has faces only faces are selected. For other objects only edges are selected.
• introduced in 26.3: The subelement type depends on what is found by the box. Faces have priority over edges and vertices, and edges have priority over vertices. This behavior can be overridden by setting a selection filter.

Note that if a whole object falls inside the rectangle, the object itself, instead of its subelements, is selected.

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Select the Edit → Box Element Selection option from the menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: Shift+E.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Drag a rectangle from left to right to select subelements whose geometric center lies inside the rectangle.
   • Drag a rectangle from right to left to select subelements that are (partially) inside the rectangle, or touched by it.

Notes

• Use the Std BoxSelection command to box select objects instead of subelements.
• This command cannot be used to select elements in a sketch. See Sketcher Workbench.
