  • 1.  Lasso Select Nodes?

    Hello,

    When I need to move or delete a large number of nodes on a polygon I use shift+select, but this can be imprecise and time consuming.  Is there a way to lasso select a number of nodes for modification?  This would be very helpful.

    Thanks,
    Anthony

    Not sure how you use the Shift+Select, just wanted to make sure that you are aware that it will allow you to select all the nodes from the first selected node and the node you use Shift+Select on.

    Also note that if you use Ctrl instead of Shift, the nodes will be selected the other way around the polygon, basically the long way.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks so much for the response. I've finally had an opportunity to experiment with Ctrl+Click, which I did not know existed! I must say it is working quite well for the task of selecting a greater number of nodes around a polygon. Problem solved.

    Cheers,
    Anthony
