Invert Selection allows you to first use the Drag Select action to select the parts that you want to keep on the model. Once you’ve selected the parts to keep, click Invert Selection to select all of the remaining parts on the model. This can be useful if the model has many parts, but you only want to keep a small number displayed. For example, if your model has 180 parts, but you only want to display 10, it’s easier to select just 10 parts, and then invert the selection. | |||
