Selection of chained / continuous entities?

Selection of chained / continuous entities?

Selection of chained / continuous entities?

(OP)
Is anyone aware of a method to select continuous entities. Ie:portions of seperate surface edge boundries or trimmed wire entities. Similar to the autosearch in sketcher. Is there a way to autosearch construction entities?

RE: Selection of chained / continuous entities?

i knom some methods about u mentioned. first of all been Edit/Search command helps u to filter entities ?n order to this command help us selecting all lines which is green etc.

RE: Selection of chained / continuous entities?

What would you like to use them for?
Try this in GSD:
Create a new open body
select all the surfaces you need edge curves from
Edit --> search, workbench:topology - type:edge - look:from current selection.
Search and select
Extract with no propogation
Join the curves, pick 1 curve, contextual menu distance propogation or angular propogation - which ever suits

RE: Selection of chained / continuous entities?

Hi,

I do think autosearch will work in sketcher.

In GSD when doing a JOIN, select first curve/line then in the dialog bok go right clic on it then select the autosearch propagation you want.
