Select connected lines

[C_Gold]

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to select contiguous lines at once in Archicad? In Revit this works via the tab key. I have an imported site plan where I want to highlight the line thicknesses of individual buildings but without always having to select the 4 individual lines of the rectangle.

Best regards and thanks in advance !

Operating system used: Windows

Unfortunately it is not the same approach that Revit has, as you can read in this post: https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/How-i-can-select-chain-of-lines-in-archicad/td-p/187368

It depends how they have all been drawn.

If individual lines with black hotspots - no.

If they were drawn as a continuous line and have coloured circle hotspots, then they are part of a group and can be selected as one when grouping is enabled.

It is possible to magic wand a continuous line over connected individual lines.

These will be grouped and can be selected as one, but of course you also have the original lines.

I just remembered there is also a 'unify' command.

But you have to select all of the lines in the first place - which is your issue.

But once selected you can either group them or unify them.

If you unify, they will be changed to a single polyline.

Barry.
