Select Items
In Products and accessories
mode, you can select single or multiple objects to perform tasks on
a group of objects in one operation.
Select One Item
- Activate the Edit Item tool by
choosing the Products task (or keyboard shortcut I,
or in Edit menu or in Context menu > Edit).
- Click on the desired item in the viewing
area.
- The selected item is tinted in blue.
Select Multiple Items
There are 4 methods available:
Control + Click
- Select one or more item(s) (see Select Items).
- Hold the keyboard Ctrl key
down.
- Select additional objects by clicking on each
of them.
- The selected objects become highlighted in
blue and you can perform operations on the selected group, such as
deleting, moving, copying, aligning and spacing the objects.
Shift + Click
- Click on an object in the viewing area.
- Hold the shift key and click on a second
object. Both items you clicked as well as all objects placed
in-between become selected and highlighted in blue.
Note: This method works similar to
selecting files in Windows Explorer in list or icon view: you can
select across multiple rows and bays; on each row, items are
selected from left to right and then to the next row.
Tip: You can edit the current selection
set by doing another Shift+click. This redefines the
range from the outermost object already selected to the latest item
you clicked.
Rectangle Selection
- Press the mouse button somewhere in the 3D
area where there is no product or accessory.
- Keep the mouse button pressed and drag your
cursor to another point in the 3D area: you will see a blue
rectangle on the screen.
- Release the mouse button and all the items
that are within or cross the blue rectangle become selected.

Tip: When you want to work only with
products, you can lock accessories in place to prevent accidentally
selecting accessories. See Bay Locked
Accessories.
Tip: If you have created a front panel
covering your shelves, such as a glass door on a cooler, you may
not be able to select any products behind the front panel. Please
see Front Panel
Visibility for help.
Tip: If you have room
elements in your project, you may want to hide them while
working with products so the walls are not blocking the view of
shelving. See Room
Visibility.
