Hello Shapr3D Support,

I am using Shapr3D on an iPad with a mouse, and I would like to know how to select two separate lines without using a keyboard. I have tried clicking on each line, but I can only select one at a time.

Is there a way to do this using only the mouse?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

How many buttons do you have on the mouse.  
Can you map a mouse button to be “SHIFT”  
I don’t partake in Apple, so can only think of your problem from a PC perspective.

Like Arron said you need to do Keyboard Shift + Mouse Left Click if you want to select items individually. That is like Pencil Tap and Tap to select multiple items.

On iPad you also have tap hold left and right drag, on the mouse that is just Left Click Drag or Right.

Now that I think about it you could technically model just with the mouse, only thing that I see as a big challenge is panning you need keyboard combo for that.
