The icons change if the filter is not active -->  


You can enable the selection filters; these filters can be enabled independently of one another:


By activating this filter, you can click on assembly components (parts or sub-assemblies). If this filter is activated on its own, as soon as you click on an entity, the entire component is selected.

By activating this filter, you can click on volumetric bodies. If this filter is activated on its own, as soon as you click on an entity, the body to which the entity belongs is selected.

By activating this filter, you can click on surface entities (plane, face or surface). If this filter is activated on its own, as soon as you click on an entity, the face or surface is selected.

By activating this filter, you can click on sketch curves, edges or axes. If this filter is activated on its own, a volume or surface edge, axis or curve can be selected.


Filters can be combined so that the selection includes all types of features. Here is a list of the features that can be excluded:

  • 2D or 3D sketch curves
  • Edges of surface or volumetric bodies
  • Areas of Focus
  • Faces of surface or volumetric bodies
  • Plans
  • Volumetric or areal densities
  • Parts (Assembly only)
  • Assembled components (Assembly only)
