Selection and colour

Select things

• Parts: click a part in the parts list. Its drawings and properties open.
• Processings: tick the box on a processing card. With several ticked, the toolbar shows how many are selected and offers Delete, Mirror and More actions.
• Members and points in Fitting: click them in the 3D view or the outliner. Hold Shift to add to the selection. With the Select tool, drag on the background to draw a selection box.
• Press Esc to clear the selection in Fitting.

What the colours mean

Colour	Meaning
Blue	The selection in the fitting workspace. It has its own colour so red can keep meaning a problem.
Green with a tick	Valid. The status reads Every part is valid.
Amber with a triangle	A warning: check it before you export.
Red with a square	An error: fix it before you export.

Status is shown by shape as well as colour, so you can read it without colour vision.

Note

In the Parts view the selected part has a red bar, and the part drawings show dimensions and the selected processing in red. There, red marks what you are working on, not an error.
