The [[Image:Draft_SelectGroup.svg|24px]] '''Draft SelectGroup''' command selects the content of [[Draft_Layer|Draft Layers]], [[Std_Group|Std Groups]] or group-like [[Arch_Module|Arch]] objects.
This tool allows you to select the contents of one or more selected groups.

The command currently does not work well with layers and can produce confusing results for objects that occur in both a layer and a group.

==Usage==


# To use this command at least one group or layer must exist.
# Select one or more objects in the [[3D view]], or one or more groups in the [[Tree view]].
# Select one or more objects, the selection can include groups selected in the [[Tree_view|Tree view]].
# Right click and select {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_SelectGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft SelectGroup|Select group]]}}.
# There are several ways to invoke the command:
# All objects belonging to the same group as the initially selected objects will be selected.
#* Press the {{Button|[[Image:Draft_SelectGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_SelectGroup|Draft SelectGroup]]}} button.
#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_SelectGroup.svg|16px]] Select group}} option from the menu.
#* Select the {{MenuCommand|Utilities → [[Image:Draft_SelectGroup.svg|16px]] Select group}} option from the [[Tree_view|Tree view]] or [[3D_view|3D view]] context menu.
# The results of the command depend on the provided selection:
#* For a simple nested object the group or layer the object is in, and its other content, the siblings of the given object, are selected. The sibling objects can include groups, but the content of those nested groups is not selected.
#* For a given group the group itself, the content of the group, and the content of all nested groups, irrespective of their nesting level, are selected, but the nested groups themselves are not.

At least one of {{Button|[[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Std_Group|Std Group]]}}, {{Button|[[Image:Group.svg|16px]] [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Construction group]]}}, or {{Button|[[Image:Draft_VisGroup.svg|16px]] [[Draft_VisGroup|Draft VisGroup]]}} must exist before using this tool.

Description

The Draft SelectGroup command selects the content of Draft Layers, Std Groups or group-like Arch objects.

The command currently does not work well with layers and can produce confusing results for objects that occur in both a layer and a group.

Usage

  1. To use this command at least one group or layer must exist.
  2. Select one or more objects, the selection can include groups selected in the Tree view.
  3. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Draft SelectGroup button.
    • Select the Utilities → Select group option from the menu.
    • Select the Utilities → Select group option from the Tree view or 3D view context menu.
  4. The results of the command depend on the provided selection:
    • For a simple nested object the group or layer the object is in, and its other content, the siblings of the given object, are selected. The sibling objects can include groups, but the content of those nested groups is not selected.
    • For a given group the group itself, the content of the group, and the content of all nested groups, irrespective of their nesting level, are selected, but the nested groups themselves are not.
