and in the Selection Tree dockable window.
When you have selected the required items (press and hold CTRL to select
multiple objects), click the Select Current button under the desired pane
to create the corresponding clash set.
The Shortcut Menu
Right-clicking in the Left or Right pane opens a shortcut menu:

Current button.
Select - selects the items in the Scene View.
The Run Controls

the geometry triangles do not.
NOTE By default, this option is turned off. To switch it on, click the application

➤ Options. In the Options Editor, expand the Interface
node, click Developer, and select the Show Internal Properties check box.
