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 used for the selection.

Select Intersecting Objects Dialog

The dialog contains the following options:

• Choose Data to Select – This section allows selecting specific data within the module where changes 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 selection of a point and and intersecting object within the module to which changes will be applied.
    • Vertices – This option enables the selection of an angle and an intersecting object within the module to which changes will be applied.
    • Arcs – This option enables the selection of a curve and an intersecting object within the module to which changes will be applied.
    • Polygons – This option enables the selection of an area and an intersecting object within the module to which changes will be applied.
  • Mesh – This section allows selecting specific intersecting components within the mesh module to which the final selection will be applied.
    • Nodes – This option enables the selection of specific ends to different arcs and an intersecting object within the mesh module to which changes will be applied.
    • Elements – This option enables the selection of specific elements and their intersecting objects within the mesh module to which changes will be applied.
    • Duplicate nodes – This option enables the selection of duplicate nodes and their intersecting objects within the mesh module to which changes will be applied.
  • Scatter – Selecting this allows the break down and selection of intersecting components within a scatter module to establish where changes will be made.
  • Cartesian grid – Selecting this allows the break down and selection of intersecting components within a Cartesian grid module to establish where changes will be made.
    • Cells – This option enables the selection of cells and their intersecting objects within the Cartesian grid module to which changes will be applied.
  • UGrid – selecting this allows the selection of intersecting components within a Ugrid module to establish where changes will be made.
  • Quadtree
• Boundary Treatment
