Select & transform
Selection and highlighting
Selection identifies which Designer object will receive commands. The precise selection outline follows the object's visible edges instead of only showing a generic bounding box.

Step by step
- Activate Select if another modelling tool is active.
- Click an object to make it the primary selection.
- Use Ctrl-click for multi-selection when a command needs several objects.
- Use Clear to remove the current selection.
Primary and additional selection
The primary selection is the object most commands and the Inspector treat as current. Additional selected objects are retained for multi-object operations such as Boolean tools or arrays.
Direct drag
Normal Select mode can use direct click-drag movement. When Move or Rotate is active, dragging the object body is intentionally locked so the gizmo or numeric fields are the only transform inputs.
Keep in mind
- If the wrong nested Boolean source is selected, use Project Browser to expand the result and choose the exact source object.
