For those functions where some entities are to be selected (creation of a surface or a volume, copying entities, etc.), it is possible to use the Selection window. The selection window lets you take control of the selection process.

Note: The Sel window option is only available in the mouse menu during the selection process.
The Selection window has the following options:
- Swap : If you select an entity that is already selected, the entity is deselected, and vice versa.
- Add : In this mode it is impossible to deselect an entity. Only new entities are added to the current selection.
- Remove : In this mode it is impossible to add entities to the selection. This mode is used to remove entities from the current selection.
- Points
- Higher entities: You are asked for a value, and all points with this Higher Entity number are selected (Higher Entity number is the number of lines that a point belongs to).
- Label: Selects all points where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Material: All points with a chosen material assigned are selected.
- Condition: All points with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Lines
- Higher entities: You are asked for a value, and all lines with this Higher Entity number are selected (Higher Entity number is the number of surfaces that a line belongs to).
- Label: Selects all lines where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Material: All lines with a chosen material assigned are selected.
- Condition: All lines with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Min. length: Selects only the lines whose length is greater than the given length.
- Max. length: Selects only the lines whose length is smaller than the given length.
- Entity type: Selects only the lines which fit the specified type: StLine (Straight Line), ArcLine, PolyLine or NurbLine.
- Surfaces
- Higher entities: You are asked for a value, and all surfaces with this Higher Entity number are selected (Higher Entity number is the number of volumes that a surface belongs to).
- Label: Selects all surfaces where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Material: All surfaces with a chosen material assigned are selected.
- Condition: All surfaces with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Entity type: Type of surface.
- Volumes
- Label: Selects all volumes where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Material: All volumes with a chosen material assigned are selected.
- Condition: All volumes with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Entity type: Type of volume.
- Nodes
- Label: Selects all nodes where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Condition: All nodes with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Elements
- Label: Selects all elements where a Label is shown or not (On or Off).
- Material: All elements with a chosen material assigned are selected.
- Condition: All elements with a chosen condition assigned are selected.
- Min Angle: Selects only the elements with an angle greater than the figure specified in degrees (see Mesh quality ).
- Max Angle: Selects only the elements with an angle smaller than the figure specified in degrees (see Mesh quality ).
- Min Edge: Sets the minimum edge length accepted (see Mesh quality ).
- Max Edge: Sets the maximum edge length accepted (see Mesh quality ).
- Shape quality: Sets the minimum shape quality accepted (see Mesh quality ).
- Minimum Jacobian: Sets the minimum jacobian accepted (see Mesh quality ).
- Entity type: Type of element (see Element type ).
