User:Jcreer/SMS:Select Intersecting Objects

Example of the Select Intersecting Objects dialog

If a feature polygon is defined, it is possible to select nodes or elements in the mesh module or vertices in the data module that are inside or outside of the feature polygon. To access this tool do the following:

1. On a map coverage, select a polygon that defines the area to be selected.
2. Select the Feature Objects | Select Intersecting Objects command.

In the dialog that appears, select the geometry that will be using for the selection.

Select Intersecting Objects Dialog

The dialog contains the following options:

• Choose Data to Select – This section allows the selection of two separate variables within the same module simultaneously with the purpose of highlighting and choosing specific intersecting data where the final selection will be applied. It contains the following options:
  • Feature Objects – Selecting this allows a break down of variables within the module that represent specific objects to which changes will be applied.
    • Points – This option enables the finding of a point within the module along withe its intersection with another chosen variable in the drop down selection tool found directly below it to which changes will be applied.
    • Vertices – This option enables the selection of an angle within the module and an intersecting object from the drop down selection tool found directly below it to which changes will be applied.
    • Arcs – This option enables the selection of a curve within the module and an intersecting object from the drop down selection tool found directly below it to which changes will be applied.
    • Polygons – This option enables the selection of a five sided area within the module and an intersecting object from the drop down selection tool found directly below it to which changes will be applied.
    • Nodes
  • Mesh – This section allows selecting specific components within the mesh module to which the final selection will be applied. it contains the following options:
    • Points –
    • Vertices –

• • Scatter
  • Cartesian grid
  • UGrid
  • Quadtree
• Boundary Treatment
