Making a selection based on a specific property

Very often the user needs to select all entities that meet some specific condition. For example, to select all 1D members made of one material type or all supports allowing for free movement in X-direction, the filter-controlled selection is the right choice.

The procedure to apply a filter-controlled selection

1. Select one entity that meets the required condition.

2. In the property table click the left column cell of the row that contains the required condition.

3. Click icon [Quick select] () at the top of the property dialogue frame.

Note: This type of selection may be used to select e.g.

- all the 1D members of the same cross-section,

- all the slabs of the same thickness,

- all the entities located in the same layer, etc.
