The Selection Tools pertain to a collection of tools used for manipulating and selecting objects.

Selection Toolbar






Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Filter Polylines
Command line : GT_PLFILTER
See under Polyline Tool Set 2

Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Filter 3DFaces based on properties.
Command line : GT_3DFFILTER 
The GT_3DFFILTER command filters 3dfaces based on their derived geometric properties. The following computations can be performed on 3dfaces and they can be identified based on the values:

  • Horizontal Projected Area

  • Slope Area of 3dface

  • Horizontal projected perimeter

  • Slope Perimeter of 3dface

  • Duplicate Vertex



Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Enhanced Entity Selector.
Command line : GT_ESELECT 
The GT_ESELECT command allows the Fence, CrossingPoly [CP] and WindowPoly [WP] selection options to be applied automatically along any number of polylines which serve as boundaries for the selection.

Enhanced entity selector

Once the boundaries for selection are selected, you can choose the selection method to be applied - which is either Fence, WPoly or CPoly. The program will then zoom to each boundary and collate the objects meeting the selection criteria into one single selection set. In addition, you can specify how the selection set is to be created.

This command can be used along with the GT_MAKESEL command to build very powerful selection filters.

Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Build a selection set.
Command line : GT_MAKESEL
See under Object selection methods



Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Find objects in selected Z range.
Command line : GT_FINDZRNG 

Find Objects in specified elevation range

Filter selected objects whose Z values fall within a specified range of Z values. This is a useful tool to examine sets of data to see if there is any elevation value that falls outside a given valid band of Z elevations.



Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Select current layer.
Command line : GT_SL 

Select current layer

Select an entity and make its layer the current layer. Alternately, you can choose from a dialog box list of existing layers in the current drawing. 



Toolbar : Selection Tools  
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Select current style
Command line : GT_SS 
Select a text entity and make its style the current text style. Alternately, you can choose from a dialog box list of styles defined in the current drawing. 



Toolbar : Selection Tools    
      Menu : GeoTools Selection Tools Put last processed selection inti [active] or "previous" select set.
Command line : GT_SSET 
The program "remembers" the last created or processed objects and places them in internal memory as well as in the active [previous] selection set. The active selection may be overwritten at any time using other selection commands, but the last processed results of a GeoTools command can always be brought back to active selection using this command.
