Select assemblies, cast units, and nested objects
You can select either assemblies or cast units, or single objects in nested assemblies or nested components.
Select assemblies and cast units
Use the Select assemblies selection switch to select assemblies and cast units.
-
Ensure that the
Select assemblies selection switch is
active.
Alternatively, to select an entire assembly or cast unit, hold down the Alt key and select one of the parts in the assembly or cast unit. Tekla Structures selects the entire cast unit or assembly that contains the selected part.
The number of objects in the assembly or in the cast unit is shown at the bottom right corner of the status bar.
Select nested objects
You can select nested assemblies and components. The active selection switch defines on which level you start and toward which direction you move in the component or assembly hierarchy. The status bar shows the steps you take in the hierarchy.

Ensure that the correct
selection switch is active.
