Select objects considerations
Consider the following when working with selections:
- You can select objects in the Viewport and Scene Editor windows, or Select main menu. When selecting objects in the Viewport window, they are highlighted in the Scene Editor window as well and vice versa.
- Selected objects are highlighted in light blue.
- Objects that are part of a layer that is locked or set as invisible are not selectable.
- Isolating a selection (I) or altering the scene object type visibility in the Viewport window does not affect the current selection.
- Map layers can be selected in the Scene Editor window only.
