Treebar Selection

Any item can also be selected in the tree. Selecting items in the tree provides an advantage over the graphical view in cases where there are many entities overlapping, when the item is not visible, does not have a representation in space, or when the geometry of the view makes it difficult to determine which items are actually selected.

Select items tab of the tree

Starting in 2022, an embedded Select items tab has been added to the tree to facilitate selection, and opens automatically when selection is required. This tab offers a filtered list of items to facilitate selection and provides the ability to Shift+click to multi-select. At any time you can switch between the Selected Items tab and the Database to see the full tree display.

To Select Items in the Tree:

Selection from the Database tab of the SA tree requires a double-click in order to select an item, but multiple items can be selected at one time. Double-click the entity again to toggle its selection state.
