Selecting curves, edges, and faces: General Information
The faces of solids and surfaces created in the model are used as reference objects for certain operations. When performing an operation, you can select either individual faces or groups of faces that meet specific criteria.
The following face selection options are available:
Single face,
Adjacent to selected face,
Face and adjacent faces,
Tangent faces,
Tangent fillet faces,
Operation faces,
Solid/surface faces.
The selected condition appears on the Quick Access Toolbar as a button with a corresponding icon on a dark background. To change the condition, click the icon 
next to the button and select the desired option from the menu that appears.
|
The face selection conditions menu appears only if multiple faces are available for selecting the current reference object in the current operation. For example, section of Extrusion element may consist of several faces (the cross-section task recorder — multi-line). When the cross-section is active, the Quick Access Panel displays a menu for selecting faces. A cross-section of Element by path can be only one edge (the cross-section task recorder— single-line), therefore, when defining a cross-section, the face selection condition menu is not available. |
The selection criteria are set for the current register of the current operation and are retained for all subsequent operations performed by the same command. If a command specifies multiple objects of the same type and uses different registers for this purpose (for example, when specifying the faces between which mid-surface), then the selected condition applies to all of these registers.
Depending on the condition set, the following options may be selected for a single BOM:
•Condition Single face — one edge;
the face name is displayed in the active register;
•any other condition: multiple faces that satisfy the given condition;
in most cases, the faces are grouped into a set; the name of the set is displayed in the active register. Learn more about face set...

When selecting multiple faces in certain operations—such as copying, projecting onto a sketch, and others—no set is created. The selected objects are added to the clipboard individually. |
|
When selecting objects using a frame, the face selection criteria set in the Quick Access Toolbar are ignored. Objects are selected according to the selection by widow rules. |
