Do you know about the Direction Dependent Selection method? This comes in to effect when you draw a selection window. It has been in ArchiCAD for a number of versions now, but is hidden within the Info Box settings of the Arrow Tool…
There are three options available and each will include elements…
1: if any part or node is included in the selection window (even the tiniest fragment!)
2: only if the entire element is, or all nodes are, included in the selection window
3: depending on the direction you draw the selection window:
– left to right: the first selection method is used (any part of element)
– right to left: the second selection method is used (entire element)
