Defining which elements are selected in a selection window

Filter Assistant

To define which elements are selected in a selection window

1. After you have selected a tool for modifying elements (e.g. moving), click one of the following icons on the Filter Assistant toolbar:
   • Select elements in a direction-dependent manner: the selection depends on the direction in which you enter the selection window.
     From right to left - selects the elements that are fully bounded or intersected by the selection window. With this method, the selection rectangle is shown as dashed lines, and the area it covers is highlighted in light green while you select elements.
     To the right - only selects the elements that are fully bounded by the selection window (with this method, the area is highlighted in blue).
   • Fully bounded: selects the elements that are fully bounded by the selection window only (the area is highlighted in blue).
   • Fully bounded and intersected: selects the elements that are fully or partially bounded by the selection window (the area is highlighted in light green and the selection rectangle is shown as dashed lines).
   • Intersected only: selects the elements that are fully bounded by the selection window only (the area is highlighted in blue).
2. Enter the selection window.
