Last Updated 3 months ago

Selecting Multiple Objects

There are three ways to select multiple objects at once:

1. Using the Select Many Tool

  • Click on the Select Many icon in the toolbar.
  • Position your mouse at the starting point, hold down the left mouse button, and drag to create a selection box around the objects you want to select.
  • You can repeat this process multiple times to add more objects to your selection.
  • Press Esc or select a different tool to exit this mode.

2. Shift + Left Click (Drag to Select)

  • Hold down the Shift key, then left-click and drag to create a selection box around multiple objects.
  • Works similarly to the Select Many tool but is faster when working with keyboard shortcuts.

3. Control + Left Click (Manual Selection)

  • Hold down the Control key, then left-click individual objects to add them to your selection one by one.
  • Ideal for selecting specific items without affecting nearby objects.

Using the Multi-Select Menu

Once multiple objects are selected, a multi-select menu will appear:

This menu allows you to move, align, rotate, and more to the selected items.

Important:

  • Some actions can only be applied to one layer at a time (e.g., all chargers or all parking spaces).
  • If you need to edit two out of three layers, you must repeat the action for each layer separately.

Example:
If you select parking spaces, chargers, and cabinets together but only want to move the chargers and cabinets:

  • First, apply the move command to chargers.
  • Then, repeat the process for cabinets.

Pro Tips

  • Zoom in closely when selecting small or densely packed objects to avoid accidental selections.
  • Use Shift + Click for quick area selection and Control + Click for single item selections.
  • Always save your progress after making bulk changes—each save creates a version you can roll back to if needed.
