      Hello,

      when i click on a body face, i have the possibility to right click then select then body. (see picture above).

       

      But now, if i select two face on two different bodies, this feature comes to grey...

      I would have been very usefull if we been able to select multiple bodies like this. Especially when you have to select bodies that are very close to others one you don't want to have in your selection !

      I know that we can use triple click on each bodies to select them, but i have usually more than 30 body to select so that mean 30 x 3 clics... 

      Now i'm using the "locate in the tree" feature, then "mask others" and make a huge selection, this is a little bit heavy...

       

      Best regards, Benjamin

      Hello Benjamin P.

      What version of SpaceClaim/Discovery you are using?

      I can select multiple bodies with ctrl+LMB and do RMB>select>Body from here with faces in 2022R2 version.

      Let me know if I did not understand it right.

      Regards.

      Hello Charudatta Bandgar ,

      I have finally got the 2022R2 installed on my computer and unfortunately i encounter the same issue...

      After some tries, i have found that i need to do the right click on a selected surface to show the menu.

      Below with right click on one of already selected face "in orange" :

      Below when i do a right click elsewhere :

       

      But once done, only one body is selected.... (The body wich i have made a right click on ....)

      Is it possible to correct this issue in the next patch ?

      Best regards, Benjamin
