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 on the Home tab ➤ Select
& Search panel. Alternatively, you can use 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.
If you find you have selected the wrong level of item, you can interactively
cycle through the selection resolution, without having to go to the Options
Editor or the Home tab. You can do this by holding down the SHIFT key
when clicking an item. This selects an item one level more specific each time
you click the item until the resolution gets to “geometry”, at which point it
reverts back to “model”. Clicking on a different item reverts the selection
resolution back to default (as set in the Options Editor).
To change the default selection resolution in the Options Editor
1 Click the application button
➤ Options.
2 In the Options Editor, expand the Interface node, and click the
Selection option.
3 On the Selection page, select the required starting point for the object
path in the Resolution box.
4 Click OK.
