MakerSolid Documentation Version 1.5.2

Modeling tool

Select

Select bodies, faces, edges, sketch profiles, sketches, and construction references for inspection or as inputs to another command.

Purpose

Select bodies, faces, edges, sketch profiles, sketches, and construction references for inspection or as inputs to another command.

Where to find it

Open Model and choose Select, or finish the active command to return to selection.

Selection

  • Tap visible geometry in the viewport. Tap additional supported items when the next command accepts multiple selections.
  • Use Bodies, Sketches, or References when overlapping geometry makes direct viewport selection difficult.

Steps

  1. Choose Select.
  2. Tap the required geometry and confirm the highlight and selection summary.
  3. Open the modeling command that will use the selection.

Options

Selection filters

Limit viewport hits to supported geometry kinds when selection filters are available; disabled kinds cannot be selected.

Result

Selection changes editor state only. It does not add a History feature until a modeling command is applied.

Editing

Tap selected geometry again or clear the selection before choosing a different input.

Troubleshooting

The intended item cannot be selected.

Exit the active command, show the object in Browser, check selection filters, rotate the view, and tap the actual face, edge, or closed profile.
