Not selecting slabs while working with fills

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:36:33 GMT

Sometimes, when you are working with fillings to determinate the area of a building you select the slabs inestead of the filling, which is very annoying. Is there a chance to disable the selection of slabs.

Make sure the fill tool is selected. That should allow you to choose the fills instead of slabs.

Also pay attention to what pre-highlights before you select it and read what is says in the little pop-up info box.
As Stephen said, by activating a tool first you will have preference to select that type of element first (must use SHIFT key of course to select).
When you have overlapping elements watch the info box and use the TAB key to cycle through all the available possible selections.

Or you could turn off the slab layers while measuring. I almost always have the ceilings turned off and sometimes the roof for that reason. I find it easy enough to toggle through them, and if need be, you could always set a Layer Combination.
