Selecting an entire layer.

[Anonymous]

Any way you can select an entire layer?

For example, instead of selecting (lets say the walls tab) and using a simple 'control A' to select all the walls.. is there any way you can select your layer that may consist of multiple different objects such as a layer consisting of both lines and fills or walls and roofs and so on.

I ask this because more often than not I usually end up using a lot of lines and fills to edit my elevations. Doing this, I will put all my lines that I use to touch up my roof, for example, on one layer. And when I go into test printing to check line weights it'd be nice if there was an easier way to select all my roof lines to change the line weight instead of reselecting each line 1 by 1.

Thank you in advance!!

So it is a DWG file that you have converted to an Archicad PLN.
If that is the case the above methods as explained in the previous posts are how you select all elements in a layer.
Essentially use the Find & Select palette and set two criteria for 'Element type is ALL types' and 'Layer name is ???'.
Then you click the '+' button and all elements in the layer you listed in the criteria will be selected.

When I enter Element is All Types, then there is NO Layer option in the drop-down menu....

I figured it out. Layer is under Add > Parameters and Properties > Model View > Layer

Yes, you add as many criteria as you need to select the elements you want.
When you ADD a criteria, there is a search box where you can type key words (like layer) and it will list all the relevant options you can choose from.
It saves you manually searching through the list.
