Selection Sets

In addition to the creation of selection groups, the Selection Sets Edition command also indicates the number of geometries included in the set, if necessary. This information is given in the Size box and is intended to match the information given in the status bar as well as the number of highlighted elements in the geometry area.

This is illustrated by the examples below:


  • Let's suppose a pad whose top face is stored in a selection set called "Set1":

    The Size box indicates that "1" element is stored in the set.

  • After clicking OK to close the Selection Sets Edition dialog box, a pocket is created and the pad looks like this:

  • Selecting Edit > Selection Sets Edition... shows that "Set1" now gives the following result:

    The information "(2 geometries)" has been added in the Size box to specify that the top face, however still considered as a single element, is now made of two geometries because of the transformation it underwent in step 2.

  • If you select Edit > Selection Sets... then click "Set1", you can check that this corresponds to the information displayed in the status bar ("2 elements selected") and to what is displayed in the geometry area: there are two highlighted elements.
