Reassigning Objects to Another Object List

You can assign objects after you have created object lists. Creating an object list is a convenient way to identify and select a group of objects for a field plot or calculation. Objects in a list can still be treated as separate objects. The same object can be included in several different lists.

To reassign objects to an existing object list:

  1. If you are selecting in the Modeler window, make sure that the modeler is in object selection mode by pressing the O shortcut key. This is not necessary for selecting in the History tree.
  2. Select the objects you want to reassign.
  3. Click Modeler > List > Reassign

    A dialog box with the existing object lists is displayed. (They appear in the History Tree under Lists.)

  4. Select the list to which you want to assign the selected object(s) and click OK.

    The object is reassigned to the selected list, replacing previous list members. The Objects property of the List shows the objects contained in the list, with each name separated by a comma.

The object list will be treated as one volume when you are plotting and performing fields calculations. It will be listed in the Geometry window of the Fields Calculator, when you select Volume.
