Selection Commands
Selection commands enable you to quickly alter the current selection using logic. You can select multiple items
based on the currently selected items' properties, or quickly invert the set, select everything or nothing.
To select items with selection commands
1 Click Edit ➤ Select.
2 Click the required selection command.
Quick Reference
The selection commands are as follows:
■ Select All. Selects all items contained within the model.
■ Select None. Deselects everything in the model.
■ Invert Selection. Currently selected items become deselected and vice versa.
■ Selection Sets. Provides you with options to save and recall selection and search sets.
■ Select Multiple Instances. Selects all instances (sometimes called insertions) of the currently selected geometry
group that occur in the model.
■ Select Same Name. Selects all items in the model that have the same name as the currently selected item.
■ Select Same Type. Selects all items in the model that have the same type as the currently selected item.
■ Select Same <Property>. Selects all items with the same property as the currently selected item. This property
can be any searchable property currently attached to the item, for example material or hyperlink.
NOTE Using the Select Same <Property> command works by comparing items' properties. If you have multiple
items selected when you perform a selection command of same name or type and so on, all the types, names and
properties of the items in the current selection are compared with all items’ properties in the scene. The items with
properties matching any properties of the currently selected items are selected.
Set Selection Resolution
When you click an item in the Scene View, Autodesk Navisworks doesn't know what level of item to start selecting
at - do you mean the whole model, or the layer, or the instance, or group, or just the geometry? The default
selection resolution specifies a starting point for the object path in the Selection Tree so that Autodesk Navisworks
can locate and select the item.
You can customize the default selection resolution in the Options Editor. Or you can use a quicker way, by
right-clicking any item in the Selection Tree and clicking Set Selection Resolution to X, where X is one of the
available selection resolutions.
