Riddle me this – multi-group select ???

Hi All,

I know – I know – I ask many questions – – – sorry…
<!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>

Multi-Object Selection – I’m famiar with – &quot;Hold Ctrl Key&quot;, &quot;Select Hierarchy&quot;, &quot;Ctrl-A&quot;, and using the &quot;Drag Window&quot; to select multiple objects… Even with these four methods – I still have an issue… When modeling a complex model – I need to routinely grab a select portion of the model for a &quot;show only&quot; to gain access to the various components… I do this often (I’d love to see &quot;Show Only&quot; on the tool bar)… I keep finding it difficult to get the parts I want selected…

The &quot;Hold Ctrl Key&quot; is the only one that works but many times I want whole sub assemblies visible – and – the number of parts involved makes it tedious… If the &quot;Hold Ctrl Key&quot; would allow me to select multiple groups – this would work fine – unfortunately – it only allows me to select individual shapes…

The &quot;Select Hierarchy&quot; seems to only work on one group at a time – you can’t use it a second time to grab another groups worth of parts…

The &quot;Ctrl-A&quot; seems to only work on one group at a time – you can’t use it a second time to grab another groups worth of parts…

The &quot;Drag Window&quot; is great but doesn’t work well when you have many small parts in one area – I can’t seem to grab what I want…

Is there another keyboard shortcut or something to allow me to grab multiple groups ???

Regards,
Scott
