DmSelect

Selection

Allows to select a set of subentities.

Prompts you:

Select [sUbset/Sample/sEed] <Sample>:

• Subset: only faces/edges in the subset can be selected.
• Sample: the preselected set of faces/edges should be considered as samples, of which the geometric characteristics (length, area, radius) will be used as parameters for the selection.
• Seed: the preselected set of faces /edges be should be considered as seed elements for the selection of features such as blends, blend networks, protrusion or depressions.

Attribute

Prompts you:

Select [Radius/Area/Length/Type/Exclude short fillets] <Radius>:

• Radius: selects faces/edges by radius.
• Area: selects faces by area.
• Length: selects edges by length.
• Type: selects faces/edges by their geometric type.

If you choose any of the above options, you are promted: Select [Current sample/Value] <Current sample> :

• Current Sample: Press <ENTER> to use the value of the sample face/edge.
• Value: type a value in the command bar.

In case of a non-zero value, you are prompted: Is [Less/Less or eQual(LQ)/Equal/Greater or eQual(GQ)/Greater] <Equal>: (Select an option.)

• Exclude short fillets: excludes short fillets from the selection, which might be useful when working with imported sheet metal parts.

Relation

Prompts you:

Select [Coincident/Parallel/coAxial/Smooth] <Parallel>:

• Coincident: selects coincident faces/edges.
• Parallel: selects parallel faces/edges.
• Coaxial: selects coaxial faces/edges.
• Smooth: selects the smooth side of a part.

Primitive

Prompts you:

Select [Face/Edge/Loop/edge Network] <Face>:

• Face: selects faces.
• Edge: selects edges.
• Loop: selects edge loops.
  Please, not that the preselection will determine the result. It is necessary to select a set of connected faces. The command will then select all edges, which describe the border of the selection set; internal edges will be skipped. If the result contains multiple loops and you want only one, the preselection should contain a set of connected faces one edge of the desired output loop. If none of the loops of the selection set contains the selected edge, the output will be empty.
• Edge Network: finds an adjacent edge which has similar convexity for a given input edge.

feaTure

Prompts you:

Select [Protrusion/Depression/Blend/blend Network] <blend Network>:

• Protrusion: selects protrusions.
• Depression: selects depressions.
• Blend: selects blends.
• Blend Network: selects blend networks.

Finish

Concludes the command and selects faces/edges according to the selected options.
