Use the steps shown below to define the Details of your Named Selections based on geometry types (body, face, edge, or vertex).
To define geometry-based named selections:
Highlight the Selection object in the tree. In the Details view, set Scoping Method to Geometry Selection.
Select the geometry entities in the graphics window to become members of the Named Selection.
Click in the Geometry field in the details view, then click the button. The named selection is indicated in the graphics window. You can rename the object by right-clicking on it and choosing from the context menu.
Tip: To allow the Named Selection criteria to be automatically generated after a geometry update, highlight the Named Selections folder object and set Generate on Refresh to Yes (default). This setting is located under the Worksheet Based Named Selections category in the Details view.
Note:
If you change the Scoping Method from Geometry Selection to Worksheet, the original geometry scoping remains until you select the Generate button.
For geometric entity Named Selections, the status of a Named Selection object can be fully defined (check mark) only when a valid geometry is applied, or suppressed ("x") if either no geometry is applied or if all geometry applied to the Named Selection is suppressed.
For a Named Selection created using the Graphics Viewer, the selections must be manually updated after you change the geometry.
