Hello everyone in this lecture, we are talking about Select Object. Before you are able to add successful making manipulations to your Revit model, you are really have to master in selection process. And in this and this is not only in Revit in any graphical command selection is a key to have to master in this lots of ways to selections object in Revit model. Now, the first the method of selecting actually right on the nothing is happening your Revit project, you don't go any command you just see the selection object without going to any command and you look down at the lower left. You can see there at the lower left. It's a it's screen to return that click to select tab for alternates control ads and sift and select okay.

These are the information that I'm given what its mean how can its use, I will explained in this lecture right now, this is our level one, level zero to D plan fine in this floor plan how you select the object, okay the first one, if you click this, if you click any of the object whenever you go to this model can see if you can eat any of the object okay? It's highlights, okay? It's highlights. When you go to the another command it's also highlight whatever object you go it's highlights that portion fine if you go to the states its highlights if you go to the wall This is highlights the wall if there is a one window so it's written their windows and it's highlights the window also go to the any of any of the object whenever you go it's highlights okay with a property that is planting supplanting trees, small water That is it highlights the object okay?

If you want to select a wall suppose if you want to select a wall so you just go there and just it's highlight and just click left click of the mouse fine okay when you go to the another wall This is another one if you want to select it, just go and click it Okay. Now you see that these selections are first of all is deselect when you go to the second one okay. So in Revit whenever you select one wall, one object and you go to the another object, so it will deselect your previous object. So how we select all the the all these walls at one period of time, okay, so you have to do one thing. In this Revit control is used for the ad option fine when you press control you You can see the plus sign comes in your cursor with your cursor, and you can see whenever you go to the another wall, it's highlights.

Okay, so select this, click left clicking, the both of the walls are selected, you can zoom it and you can see that right. If you want to select one more wall, you go there and select one more. If you want to select one more wall, whatever you select, just press Ctrl and left click of the mouse. This is the first way of selections. Okay. If you want to deselect anything, suppose I don't mean suppose I select this window first.

Fine, okay, so if I select this door also fine if I don't want this door right now, so I want to deselect it. So how I will deselect this dope. Just press the Shift key when you press the Key, the minus sign showing your cursor and you go there and you can click it by clicking this is the Select for selecting, you can use this for the Select suppose I don't want to the select this wall so I just press Shift key and then click it is click it whenever you are not use of this selections right this is add selections or the subtract side selections according to you. Fine. I say to you right now, I underline again, for the for the add more selections, you have to use the Ctrl key. Okay, this is the control key.

You can see it goes in here. This is the control key and this is plus sign so when I press control, and the second that is shift key when you press Shift key, it's minus sign option on your skin fine Okay, now we're when we click into the empty space, okay, so the all the walls are deselect if you don't want to select this wall so if by mistake in this this wall are selected so you can go and click to the open space so it will deselect or, or the another option that is if you want to go to the Modify tab and click it then also it will deselect Okay, so I will just go here and deselect it again I will just select one wall okay this wall and this one, okay, and I want to deselect these both one so I will go and click Modify fine.

These are the two options two ways to deselect balls or deselect any items that you selected fine. Now, we are going to going to know the another way of selecting objects. Okay. When you go to the any of this walls or any of the object, you can see that it's highlights first fine. Whenever you go when mouse face on the object, it's highlight. Let's see, you can see that in every object whenever you go, it's highlight after that what you have to do just just go here.

And this is the dough calm and you can see it's highlighted the dough if you want to select the wall, but by chance when you go here, it's no Okay, so what you have to do press TAB key. When you press TAB key, the walls are selected, though sorry, the walls are highlighted. If you press now the walls are selected fine. So this is the best method to use this. Suppose if you go to the air in the stairs, I don't want to select the stairs so I press TAB key. So you can see this was selected by This was unselected.

If you go there, select here and press TAB key, the whole walls are selected. Okay, so tab is very important. One more thing, we are always at a beginner, we are always doing the mistakes that we press Tab two times fine. When you press two times, it will go to the wrong selections. So you have to very, very careful about that. Whenever you go.

The first option is highlight. Suppose this is the wall, if you want to select this wall, highlight, fine highlight. If this is the window, and this is all highlighted, then you just left click if you want to select one wall, if you want the change selection, just click the tab key tab. You can see TAB key and then click OK. This is the selection process. We'll do it one more time.

How the chain selection is important. Okay, I will show you how if you go to the another object if you if the, if the wrong object is highlighted, you can select tab so you can go to the right object, okay? If the wrong object is highlighted, just just notice what I'm saying it's very important. Okay? Now what we'll do right now, how can we go for the chain selection? Suppose we want the wall, the exterior wall of this of this model.

So every time we select this, and there's control then this then this time, fine. I want to change selections. So how we can go for the chain selection immediately. So what do you have to do? It's very simple. Just go if I if I want this exterior wall, I just go to the face of this wall.

Fine, and use highlight. The first step is highlight it highlight okay? Then I press the Tab key You can see that whole exterior wall will shown here if you don't go anywhere with this cursor, okay if you go outside so it will deselect Okay, just go here, click just one time tab find it will select all the exterior wall that are changing right now fine and then you can click it fine. So, this is the one more one more option to select your object and this is very powerful in Revit the most of time it is it is very useful for all the professionals because it's make your work very easy in a very quick quick interval of time Okay, one more thing. One more thing we have noticed here, suppose we are in this exterior wall these walls are not selected. So what what if you want to deflect the path suppose if you go from here for selecting this one suppose here you can see this mistakes that I explained previous time that if we go there this you can see that this this items are selected that are kitchens items that are selected.

So you have to just go and press tab you can see now the walls are selected, okay, then go balls are selected, okay, so I'm here this is the world Okay. Now, you can see that if I highlighted this there are only this portion are these are highlighted, I want to select all the all these walls that are changing right now I want to select this chain so you just go there, press a tab key one time, okay, you can see that the highlighted items these are the highlighted items you can see these are the highlighted chain are selecting in just one TAB key okay. I said you know don't move the cursor key. I have to explain this. Why remove all the Time the cursor key or not at the same place suppose I go to this one and press Tab one time only, okay the chains are formed and then I click.

So, you can see this chaining will select it right now, you can see that fine. So, this is for the chain selection if you go here I will show you in the Garret also just just just highlighted first option is highlighted certain this tab okay and third that is you can click it. So, you can see these are all selected with a chain. So, this option is very important this is very important okay. So you have to just take care and be practice more than times so that you are mastering this in every software I told you already. If you want to be professional, if you want to be learn a software so the selection process process plays a very major role in this So you have to be you have to be master in this and just practice as much as possible for you.

Okay. Now, we are talking about more selection process. Be careful, I told you about that several tab several times make you wrong selections, okay? So when you press tab, it's only one time fine. Okay. So, now, we are talking about one more selection process that is window in crossing selection window in crossing selection means when you go to the empty space first when you click left click of the mouse click your mouse and go to the right side.

So you can see solid lines are created fine when you go to the left side of the of the screen and drag it so it's display in our form. So these are the two ways of selecting objects. So what are the what are the option Here we have to use the selections okay? So this is like if you want if you select this bedroom close it okay so just click it and select the solid ways so this solid This is this selection is only happened when you totally covered all the parameters of this is bedroom closet so you can see these are select if these doors are not selected because when I select this, there is only only fear only half door are covered. You have to cover all this for this select okay if I covered all of this though also so it will be select though and this bedroom closet Okay, this is the one of the option you have to just select anywhere what you want just select it just I want to select this door so I cover it all and select so this door you deserve only those are selected okay?

Lonely wonder absolutely fine okay. So, this is the one more option and here for the dash dash dash line what it what it does when you go to the left click just select this one and it will just cover all the touching points these are the wall data touches with anywhere so it select this floor also this wall these are all walls that are attached to it they select all okay if you want to select more item just click it right. So it select all of them fine. They are when they are attaching to all of this it select or fine suppose if you want to select just just you select this option just suppose you select this wall only. Just go to DraftKings. You can see the whole floor and all.

There are tests they are selected in one face. Fine. So, this is also effective when you are using the selection process in a very in a very quick manner fine, okay, I will go to the final method right now that is filter method, how you can use that filter method, okay. So when we select just this down part of this, this model, okay, you can see one filter tab is seen there, so you can just click the filter tab, right, you can see how many items they are, they are selected, they they gave the shed deal with the quantity. If you don't want to use this dose in this model to sell to the selection process, just click it and remove it on the floor. Just click it and remove it.

Okay, just check it whatever you want, or whatever you don't want. You can check or deselect or select and deselect in this filter channel and then you apply it Okay, fine. This is also the very powerful selections of this. This Revit software's and it will really make your work very quick. I hope this are the selection process that are very helpful for you. And this highly selections makes you master in any software as well as in Revit.

It's very important to work you have to learn a practice lots of time makes you perfect. Thanks for watching.
