    SelectBy Key-ins and Their Effect

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): 08.11.09.829
      Environment: N\A
      Area: General
      Subarea: N\A

    dialog selectby: opens the main SelectBy dialog

    selectby clear: clears the current selection

    selectby execute: runs the Selectby tool with the current selection criteria.

    selectby element: enables creation of a selection based on a currently selected element.

    The attributes that can be used by this command are controlled by this dialog that opens when 'selectby element' is keyed-in:

    The selection can be toggled by selectby element all/none.

    To set for levels only key-in: selectby element none; selectby element level

    Thank you to Tom Danner for the following key-in sequences that work with selectby element:

    First select a single element in file, then run one of following keyins (note if an element is not selected before running keyin it will select all elements):

    1. This key-in string will select all elements that match selected element completely

    mdl load selectby; selectby element all; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby

    2. This key-in string will select all elements that match element's level only

    mdl load selectby; selectby element none; selectby element level; selectby execute; selectby type none; mdl unload selectby
