Metodi di selezione
Presentazione
I metodi di selezione in FreeCAD consentono di selezionare gli oggetti nell'interfaccia di FreeCAD: ad esempio nella vista 3D, nella struttura ad albero, nella vista selezione, e tramite altri dialoghi. Alcuni metodi di selezione sono specifici di un particolare ambiente e sono documentati nella documentazione specifica di tale ambiente.
Vista 3D
Nella Vista 3D ci sono vari modi per selezionare gli oggetti usando il puntatore del mouse.
Selezione semplice
La selezione semplice con il mouse (per impostazione predefinita clic sinistro) e la preselezione (passaggio del mouse) sono descritte nella pagina navigazione del mouse.
Repeated clicks
The first click selects a sub-element (vertex, edge or face) of the object under the mouse. A second click selects the whole object. introduced in version 0.18
The third click extends the selection to its container object (PartDesign Body, Std Part, and others). Further clicks expand the selection up the container chain. introduced in version 0.19
Selection commands
Mouse drag selection to select multiple objects or sub-elements (vertices or faces) is available using Std SelectAll, Std BoxSelection, Part BoxSelection, and Std BoxElementSelection.
The Box selection modes revert to the default Std SelectAll, after any selection. (What does this mean??)
Selection view
The selection view shows the names of the objects being selected, including their full name within an object, for example, Unnamed#Body.Box001.Face17.
It also allows to perform some actions like Std ViewFitSelection, and sending the object to the Python console.
Object export
This should be in the selection view page.
Select any complex object, for example, a PartDesign Body or Std Part, then in the selection view select again the object, and then press Ctrl + C in the keyboard to open the Object selection dialog. This allows copying the selected object together with all or only some of that object's dependency objects. For example, for a Std Part the possible objects to select include the Std Part itself, but also its Origin, its three base axes (XYZ), and its three base planes (XY, YZ, XZ).
After pressing OK, the selected objects are copied into memory, and then can be pasted in the document to duplicate these objects only.
Object selection dialog that is launched from the selection view.
Tree view
In the tree view items can be selected, or deselected, one at a time, by holding the Ctrl key and clicking with the mouse.
A range of items can be selected by clicking on the first item, holding Shift, and clicking on the last item.
Selecting a single item will also show its properties in the property editor.
Double clicking will open any associated task panel containing actions. Make sure to close this task panel before executing another command or switching to any other workbench.
More methods are available by opening the context menu (right-click), depending on the object selected or the active workbench; see the information in tree view.
Scripting
Selecting objects is inherently a graphical task and therefore it is only available when the graphical user interface is loaded.
These commands can be used in macros or from the Python console.
import FreeCADGui as Gui
Gui.Selection.addSelection
Gui.Selection.addSelectionGate
Gui.Selection.Filter
The command addSelectionGate restricts the user from selecting objects not specified in the selection string. A symbol appears when the pointer is over an item not in the specified group.
Gui.Selection.addSelectionGate("SELECT Part::Feature SUBELEMENT Edge")
See the Source documentation and Std PythonHelp for more help on using these tools.
