Selection filters can be activated independently of each other:


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.

  • 2D or 3D sketch curves
  • Surface or volume body edges
  • Axes
  • Surface or volume body faces
  • Plans
  • Volumetric or surface bodies
  • Component parts (Assembly only)
