Show selection on 2D

[Anonymous]

Wish:

Option to show in 2D an element selected in 3D or section/elevation.

Sometimes you discover an element you don't really know who, where and why was drawn by you/your college when working. Finding this element on plan view is sometimes tricky so a shortcut to zoom to this element directly would be nice.

I understand the need for this, but what if they are on multiple stories? How would you see this being handled in the interface?

Cheers,

Already possible...unfortunately with one step in between (some say breaks the fluency of the workflow but...) - the selection palette and temporary selection made in any window than restored in the other.
The glitch is that the selection must be visible in the second viewpoint to execute the selection restoration.

Best Regards,
Piotr

I like this wish, I think it would be useful. I remember instances when I would have needed this ability.

I think the way it could work in case multiple elements are selected is it would go to the home story of the last selected element and would select only those elements of the original 3D selection that are visible on that Story.
