Resolving interaction conflicts
Some tools require Left click + movement / Swipe interaction to operate properly (such as Free Hand polyline, brush selection, etc.).
In this case:
use CTRL modifier to manipulate the camera according to the current mode .
or
pause the current tool (S key), allowing only camera movements.
Selection
Selecting an object can be triggered through the left click action or a single tap. Special cases:
Cyclone 3DR camera profile: press SHIFT for rectangular selection.
First person mode: press SHIFT to enable the selection.
If other objects were previously selected, they will be automatically deselected and the previous selection will be replaced by the new one.
If you move the mouse to the right, you will select the objects strictly inside the rectangle; if you move the mouse to the left, you will select the objects touching or inside the rectangle.
If you press the CTRL key, the selected elements will be added into your selection. Inside the Tree view, it is possible to select or deselect objects that are not shown in the graphic zone.
You can use the SHIFT key in the tree to select objects "from/to".
You can use the shortcut CTRL + A in order to select all visible objects.
