Selection of members

Table input allows making the selection of members in the model using the click on the row header. Selected members are highlighted in Table input by yellow color.

Example:
There are three members highlighted in the Table input and it is also selected in the model.

The highlight works otherwise also - the selection created in the 3D window is displayed as highlighted row/s in the tab/s.

Example: Member B1 and B2 are highlighted in the tab 1D members, they are also selected in the 3D window and the intersection of their properties is displayed in the Property window.

The selection of members may be created in the 3D model graphically or in Table input by the row/s highlight. Both ways leads to the same result - rows are highlighted, property window displays property intersection and the selection is visible in the 3D window.

The selection could be disabled by View parameters settings, it this case highlight doesn’t work either.

Highlight from the Table input

Single highlight:

Multi-highlight:

The highlighted = selected member displays its properties in the property window.

Highlight from the 3D window

Selected items in the 3D window are highlighted in the Table input.

Add member to the highlighted / selected items

When user highlights one more row (using CTRL key) or graphically selects additional member it is automatically added to the original selection.

Cancel highlight

The highlight is cancelled by ESC key. It can be used in 3D window (a standard way) or in the Table input directly.

The ESC key cancel the highlight in the current tab only, other tabs will keep their highlight.

Select by property in cell

In Table input it is possible to select all members with the same property value by one click:

  1. Select one cell in the grid of Table input
  2. Click the button "Select by property in cell" on the toolbar of Table input
  3. All members with the same property value are selected in the model and related rows are highlighted in Table input

This functionality is similar to filtering the 3D model by the selected property in the property dialogue (the icon with funnel).
