DmSelect

Selection

Allows to select a set of subentities.

Prompts you:

Select [sUbset/Sample/sEed] <Sample>:

• Subset: only faces/edges in the subset can be selected.

• Sample: the preselected set of faces/edges should be considered as samples, of which the geometric characteristics (length, area, radius) will be used as parameters for the selection.

• Seed: the preselected set of faces /edges be should be considered as seed elements for the selection of features such as blends, blend networks, protrusion or depressions.

Attribute

Prompts you:

Select [Radius/Area/Length/Type/Exclude short fillets] <Radius>:

• Radius: selects faces/edges by radius

• Area: selects faces by area

• Length: selects edges by length

• Type: selects faces/edges by their geometric type

If you choose any of the above options, you are promted: Select [Current sample/Value] <Current sample>:

• Current Sample: Press <ENTER> to use the value of  the sample face/edge

• Value:type a value in the command bar

In case of a non-zero value, you are prompted: Is [Less/Less or eQual(LQ)/Equal/Greater or eQual(GQ)/Greater] <Equal>: Select an option.

• Exclude short fillets: excludes short fillets from  the selection, which might be useful when working with imported sheet metal parts.

Relation

Prompts you:

Select [Coincident/Parallel/coAxial/Smooth] <Parallel>:

• Coincident: selects coincident faces/edges

• Parallel: selects parallel faces/edges

• Coaxial:  selects coaxial faces/edges

• Smooth: selects the smooth side of a part.

Primitive

Prompts you:

Select [Face/Edge/Loop/edge Network] <Face>:

• Face: selects faces

• Edge: selects edges

• Loop:  selects edge loops
  Please not that the preselection will determine the result. It is necessary to select a set of connected faces. The command will then select all edges, which describe the border of the selection set; internal edges will be skipped. If the result contains multiple loops and you want only one, the preselection should contain a set of connected faces an one edge of the desired output loop. If none of the loops of the selection set contains the selected edge, the output will be empty.

• Edge Network: finds adjacent edge which have similar convexity for a given input edge

feaTure

Prompts you:

Select [Protrusion/Depression/Blend/blend Network] <blend Network>:

• Protrusion: selects protrusions

• Depression: selects depressions

• Blend: selects blends

• Blend Network: selects blend networks

Finish

Concludes the command and selects faces/edges according to the selected options.
