Selecting Objects in Model TCM

  • 1.  Selecting Objects in Model TCM

    I am wondering if it would be possible to draw a box around elements in a model to select as can be done in TCD. Currently the only way I can see to select many objects is using multi select. This is ok when only a handful of elements but I would love to be able to select multiple rebar easily and right now TCM doesn't offer this function. Is there any development planned on this?

     

    Regards

    Hi Darshan,

     

    In a similar vein of thought, it would be helpful to have a "Select All Visible" option on TCM. This could go hand-in-hand with improving the selection capability of TCM.

     

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Great to know that this feature is of interest . Trying to get a bit more insight into your request. When you say "Select all visible" , we are talking about a scenario where certain model elements are hidden and the user wants to select only the unhidden model elements. Is that correct? Please add your comments.

     

    Regards

    Hi Darshan,

     

    Yes, so a useful situation might be to use the 'Search in Model' function already available in TCM to isolate a certain group of objects.

    You could then press a "Select All" option to select all the unhidden elements.

     

    I hope that helps,

     

    Chris

    Hi,

     

    Just to add to this search question. It would be great if TCM could make use of a object selection tree similar to that in TCD. That way it would be easy to use a drop down menu to search for elements in the model using the embedded data.

     

    Currently you have to use the search function in TCM which is not very useful.

     

    Regards
