DESELECT
Deselects objects in the model.
Description
With the DESELECT command, objects in the model can be deselected from the current selection. There are several different selection methods available through the Selection type parameter.
Syntax
DESELECT [Selection type] Selection parameters...
Selection types
Available selection types:
| Selection type | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Deselects all objects in the model |
| By_ID | Deselection by object ID |
| By_Type | Deselection by object type |
| By_Attribute | Deselection by object type and attribute(s) |
Command parameters
Selection type:
The available selection parameters and their meaning depends on the chosen selection type. Detailed description of all selection parameters for each individual selection type can be found below.
Sample code
DESELECT All

More information about object types can be found at the CREATE command.
Object attributes:
The object attributes by which the deselection will be restricted within the given object type. An arbitrary number of object attributes can be given for one DESELECT By_Attribute command. The final deselection will affect only those objects for which all the given attribute values are true.
The list of available object attributes depends on the object type. The full list of object attributes can be found at the CREATE command for each object type.
Attribute values:
The actual value of the given attribute.
Description
Deselects specific objects in the model by type and all given object attributes.
