Selecting Groups and Submodels

With group selection mode, the parent group of selected object is selected. Selecting group highlights all children under the group in the Modeler window. If you click an object that has not been assigned to a group, nothing is selected. To select multiple groups, hold the Ctrl key as you click the groups.

To set the selection mode to Group:

• From the menu bar, click Edit > Selection Mode > Groups
• Press the "G" key to enter group selection mode.
• From the 3D Modeler window context menu, select Selection Mode > Group

If your design contains submodels, you can set the selection mode to Submodel.

• From the menu bar, click Edit > Selection Mode > Submodel
• Press the "U" key to enter Group selection mode.
• From the 3D Modeler window context menu, select Selection Mode > Submodel
