Castellan Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hello, currently to change a selection method between selecting object fully in the marquee area to one when object is selected when it intersects with marquee, user has to change selection preferences in apps menu. It would be great to change the method instantly and temporarily while still working in the canvas. Graphisoft Archicad, for example, solves it by changing the selection behaviour depending on the direction to which the mouse cursor moves: https://centralinnovation.com/technical-resources/learn/selection-methods-in-archicad/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And surely you can: On Mac, hold the ctrl key while dragging to flip the default behavior on the fly. Works both with the Move and Node tools. No idea on Windows. simply try every modifier key until you find the one that does it.

Why can't they use some reasonable combination - like Ctrl like a Mac). Unfortunately, it is not stated in the Status bar - so the finding is therefore a trial-and-error method, and the user must remember it forever 😞 Edit: To complete - right-click inverts the option in Preferences so that it works for both types of selections (it always changes to the second type).
