A few tools are available in order to select objects in the 3D scene.

 

Basic object selection

The basic selection is made by left-clicking on one edge of the object. You can select more objects by pressing [Ctrl] and left-clicking on the other objects you want to add to selection.

Clicking on an empty area will reset selection.

 

Rectangle selection

 This tool allows you to draw a rectangle on the scene and select/deselect objects which are either touched by the rectangle or completely inside it.

When you click on this button, the following menu pops up and allows you to choose what you wish to do.

Clicking on the button one more time will disable the drawing but keep your current selection.

 

Lasso selection

This tool allows you to draw a free shape on the scene and select/deselect objects which are either touched by the drawing or completely inside it.

When you click on this button, the following menu pops up and allows you to choose what you wish to do.

Clicking on the button one more time will disable the drawing but keep your current selection.
