Picking

Picking of graphical information follows the same rules as positions with the following additions.

In FEMGEN there are several types of information that can be picked on the graphics area, namely Points, Lines, Surfaces, Bodies and Nodes. Certain commands only allow picking of one type of information at a time. These are denoted by:

• /PICK-P for points
• /PICK-L for lines
• /PICK-S for surfaces
• /PICK-B for bodies

In these cases the particular item is selected via the left or middle mouse button.

Other commands allow any information to be picked and are denoted by:

• /PICK-*

In this case if a mouse button is used the nearest item will be selected or a keyboard key may be used to identify the type of item to be picked namely

• P-for a point
• L-for a line
• S-for a surface
• B-for a body
