MichaelMacDonald Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hey ladies and gents, I'm working on a kitchen design and I'm having a hell of a time selecting upper cabinets... is there an easier way to do this? Some key I can hold down so the click will automatically select the "higher" of the overlapping objects? Every time I click I end up selecting the base cabinet.. very frustrating! Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBuilder Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Click on the upper cabinet icon first. That should isolate your selection to the upper cabinets in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Emery Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 If I'm just working on the uppers, I will lock the base cabinet layer so they can't be selected, otherwise the base cabinet usually gets selected by default. If I'm just doing one or two uppers, I will hit the tab key to shift the selection from the base to the upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCKD Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You can also hit the tab key to select/scroll through items if you accidentally get the wrong one the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Besides using any/all of the above I have an annoset for just walls another just bases. That allows me to dimension each run separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 If you are in wall cabinet mode, using your left mouse button will always select wall cabinets. Also, marquee selecting will just select wall cabinets. If you are in base cabinet mode, using your left mouse button or marquee selecting will just select base cabinets. If you are in full height cabinet mode, using your left mouse button or marquee selecting will select any cabinet. Using your right mouse button will always select anything. Tab will usually let you select something else when your first click did not give you what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
