SelBrush

The SelBrush command selects objects based on painting a thick brush stroke.

Steps

• Click and drag or click repeatedly to draw the stroke.

  By default it uses crossing select: objects touched by the stroke are selected.

  Use Selection Filters to change what types of objects/sub-objects are selectable.
