Selecting multiple components

[crispychase]

I can't seem to find any other way to select multiple components (in Wildfire) other than by clicking on every individual part with the ctrl key held down. This is incredibly tedious when there are a multitude of pieces (not grouped together as an assembly) that need to be moved together. Someone please tell me there is another way . . . ?

Shift Click in the model tree will select everything between and including your new selection and your previous. You can then use ctrl to unselect individual items or select more.

Hope that helps

Thanks Dave, that does help, and is better than what I was doing, but I what I was really hoping for was some way to drag a selection box over the items to be selected, or to place a boundary around them, as is possible with Catia (or most any other program for that matter).

Thanks very much for the tip!
