Question

Preselection Highlighting and Query Select

All,

  1. Is there an easy or built-inway to toggle Preselection Highlighting ON and OFF? Or do I just need to create a mapkey? I tried to create one mapkey for toggling ON/OFF but this did not work. I probably need to create one mapkey to toggle ON and another mapkey to toggle OFF.
  2. How do I query select using Preselection Highlighting? I repeatedly press the RMB and when I accept with the MMB, the entity never gets properly selected.
  3. The Query Select functionality sometimes turns itself off. In other words, when I want to Query Select, I click the RMB and select an itemwith the LMB. I then repeatedly click the RMB until the item I want has been highlighted and I accept with the MMB. My problem is that the initial RMB click that takes me into Query Select mode doesn't always take me there. I end up having to click and hold the RMB, use the pulldown menu, and manually select Query Select.
Sincerely,

      Thanx Lyle, Here's the link to the video tutorial on selection. It
      clears up a lot of confusion.

      Speaking of highlighting, is there a way to mouse-over an item in the
      model tree and see it highlighted in the main window?



      I'd like to do this when I don't feel like clicking RMB through 10
      planes and I want to "preview" my model tree selection before I'm forced
      to click on it (since a wrong click will force into many extra mouse
      clicks).


      Thanks,
      Matt Gortner

      Yes, that's it. It's something I never needed until recently.



      Thanks,
      Matt

      Is there a config to enable this by default?

      Regards
