Hi all,

So looking for quick selection strategies when a geometry is nestled in amongst geometries...My typical workflow would be just to jump into wireframe (to remove any surfaces) and grab, but I find with MoI I have to try and hide things around the object first then go in (then when I unhide other portions of the model may unhide as well), or other slightly lengthy processes. For instance, how would people click drag over the yellow portion of the model attached, without accidentally grabbing the other geometry around it?

Thanks!

Hi Rich, you can hold down shift+ctrl when you do a selection which will force a window selection to happen and disable the regular selection that happens on mouse down. This is what you want to use for this kind of situation where there is not a good empty space to click on which is normally how you make a window selection.

Then along with that you would want to do a left-to-right direction on the window so it will be the kind that only targets things entirely inside the window. Dragging in a right-to-left direction makes a dashed "crossing" type window selection that will grab anything that intersects it.

If you can post your model I can make a demo video showing that.

Argh...

I have missed this possibility since the beginning of my use of the software...

Thanks Michael !

My gosh amazing thanks! I would post but unfortunately there's an amount of NDA going on :/...Unless you'd like me to 'recreate' the situation a bit?

Hi Rich,

That would be good if you're still having difficulty but it isn't necessary if you're getting it ok now.

Hey yes it's working amazingly thanks!
