2.6.5 Selecting a group of points at a contour plate in Tekla Structures
It is important to mention that selecting points at a contour plate is
not the same as selecting the contour plate as an object. To select several
points hold on the “Shift” key pressed and subsequently click
on the points using the mouse cursor. This method is applicable for
a small number of points. For a large number of points proceed on selecting
by framing. It is really important to consider the direction of
selecting the objects by frame in TS, thus creating a frame from right-to-left
and left-to-right directions brings different outputs.
The right-to-left framing direction allows selecting an object entirely.
Thus, partial selection of an object ( or its points) is available by
The algorithm for selecting a large number of points by framing is as
Make sure all the operations are canceled or press the “ESC”
key.
Select the objects required by framing them in the right-to-left direction.

Press and hold on to the “Alt” key.
Select the points required by framing the parts of the respective object
from the left to the right direction.
