Hi,

When in sketch mode, it would be really great if a double-tap on a segment of a spline / rectangle / line group would just select all connected segments.

This would significantly improve object selection for offsets.

Currently, what happens is that you are thrown out of sketch mode into 3d-object-selection mode, and the underlying object is selected as a whole.

Thanks!

Could you please record a video of this, with [Tutorial mode](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/7873943982620-Settings-or-Preferences#ipad-tab) turned on? The app should normally work exactly as you described (selecting all connected sketch segments on double tap), there’s something strange going on if it doesn’t.

Hey @toncek,

Make sure to use Offset Edge tool with **Loop** offset type, it works exactly as you described. It is accessible from either sketch mode and modelling space (by selecting a planar face).

Awesome, thank you. In my defense, I was working on something, and also trying to unlearn Fusion and getting to know Shapr 😅
