Selection groups

Selection groups

The Selection groups widget shows you the number of selected objects and lets you create and recall user-defined groups of selected object.

If you move your cursor over the widget, you get a tooltip that also shows the number of selected objects, lists the available selection groups and provides an additional Create new group button to create a new group from the current selection.

Selection groups widget tooltip
Click on the pin icon in the top-right corner of the widget to display the tooltip content permanently in a separate panel in the workbench. Click on the pin icon again to bring the panel to the front if it is hidden behind other panels.

On each group listed in the tooltip you find three buttons on the right:

  • one for editing group properties, such as its name,

  • one for updating the group to the current selection,

  • one for deleting the group.

An additional hotkey is also shown for each group on the left that can be recalled by typing g1, g2 etc. for each group, correspondingly.
