catia v5, selected geometry by color... 3

[texaspete]

Hello catia members, I need some help. I want to select specific geometry, example I want to select all yellow wire frame. This is the goal, I want to select all yellow wire frame geometry (that are in the same geometrical set) and then perform a transformation. Note I have other wire frame with color within the yellow wire frame. I have a master section that I am manipulating. I DON'T want to pick say the red, blue, orange, etc. I want to use a selection Box to pick what I want.
Thanks in advance Texaspete

EDIT + SEARCH (Advanced tab) should do it.

try something like; workbench=PartDesign, Type=Geometric
Set, Attribute=Color=yellow

or you could do a boolean query to search all wireframe AND color = yellow

the composed query below with the wireframe elements selected with Yellow color.

'Generative Shape Design'.Circle.Color='Basic 26'+
'Generative Shape Design'.Line.Color='Basic 26'+
'Generative Shape Design'.Point.Color='Basic 26'

Also in the "Look" feild U can select the "from current selection option"

(Note after setting the above query with the search window active you can select the geometrical set from the tree,once selection is done the current selection option gets activated in the "look" pull down. this option searches only in the selected set and not in the full part which gives what u want.

Hope this help!!!!!!

I just got some data from CATIA V4 and sections are on layers. The wireframe is all one color but separate by layers. I looked in the "Edit + search" found the layer options but when I looked in the available layers - the layers I need, 10, 11, 12, 13 aren't shown. These are the layer selectable / shown - 0, 1, 16, 254. How do I select a specfic layer - example layer 11
