Group-Level Operations on Selection Sets

You can perform group-level deletions and reporting on elements in a selection set by using the Select In Drawing button in the Selection Sets Manager.

Note: While it is not possible to directly edit groups of elements in a selection set, you can use the Next button in the Network Navigator to quickly navigate through each element in the selection set and edit its properties in the Property Editor.

To delete multiple elements from a selection set

Open the Selection Sets Manager by selecting View > Selection Sets or clicking the Selection Sets button on the View toolbar.
In the Selection Sets Manager, highlight the selection set that contains elements you want to delete.
Click the Select In Drawing button in the Selection Sets Manager to highlight all of the selection set's elements in the drawing pane. If there is only one selection set listed in the Selection Sets manager, you don't have to highlight it before clicking the Select In Drawing button.
Shift-click (hold down the Shift key and click the left mouse button) any selected elements that you do not want to delete.
Right-click and select Delete. The highlighted elements in the selection set are deleted from your model.
