Could be that I totally misunderstand you,
but aren’t you looking for the “Rectangle Selection Tool”?
For objects you activate it by pressing F7, for components you use
“T” for Rectangle Point mode or “Y” for Rectangle Polygon mode,
provided you use the “Softimage interaction model”.
.
Read all about it here:
xsidocs:
Scene Elements > Selecting > Using Selection Tools > Rectangle Selection Tool
Scene Elements > Selecting > Selecting Components > Component Selection Modes
To get the results you want, you may have to look into the “Selection Preferences” as well:
xsidocs:
Preference Reference > Tool Preferences > Selection Preferences > Rectangle Select Options
Thx hirazi for the response…
Well i am trying to get at is that dotted white lines which aids ur selection supposing u wanted to select a portion of a component e.g a point…I have watched a couple of training videos and i see it and wondering why i can’t have it mine…
Hope u guys could figure it out for me…pls take a look at the screenshot …am talking of the dotted white lines which aids ur selection before u make it…I thought there shd be something like tht in xsi cos i have seen it in training videos…
XSI has this selection outline by default (blue, continuous outline). If you don’t see the selection rectangle there might be some problem with your (old?) graphics card driver.
tHX a lot ezekiel…i think u right…well my laptop is running on an intel mobile chipset…I updated some fews days ago and still has some few problems with xsi and from wht i am seeing xsi doesnt work well on intel cards.well am learning for now so i guess i have to overlook it…
Hope to get around it soon…
thx for all for the help
peace
