Hi
Researching here and found posts from 2017, but no answers. Is there a way to multiselect objects. Is there a lasso tool in the works?
Thanks
Cliff

@cjm
Sketches: Tap on individual **Lines/Curves** or within **Closed Shapes** to make Selections.
If you ‘mis-tap’ the Selections ‘lost’ can be regained by tapping **Undo**.
Bodies: Tap on individual **Edges** , similar results to that in Sketches can be achieved.
Items List: Open **Items** , Bottom Left of Design Screens, multiple Selection can be made by tapping on Items/Folders needed. E.g., a whole Sketch, whole Folders or separate Objects within Folders.
A **Lasso Tool** does not exist at present, but it has often been requested. The S3D Team work hard to provide features dependent on well considered aspects of the whole ‘wish’ list.
Hopefully your voice will be counted as a +1?

There has been a couple of prototypes, and as @Gelphyn mentioned it is a sought out feature. Not sure when it will come out, but I would say it’s quite high on our prio list (no ETA yet).

I am definitely wanting to add my +1 to this feature request.

Any update on this feature?

Day 3 of my trial and this missing feature is a total bummer. I design electrical cabinets. When I import a CAD model containing 30 separate pieces and I realize there’s no easy way to group them and treat them as a component and move them from the origin frustrates the hell out of me. It’s one of the most basic features in any CAD software. How can it not make it into the software after almost 2 years of requests?

Awkward, isn’t it? The good news is that it’s been finally merged to our master branch, and now it’s really just a matter of weeks.

> Hi everyone! [4.6](https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/shapr-3d-cad-modeling/id1091675654) is out rocket That means it’s time to get in gear with your Apple Pencil. You can finally use the Area Selection tool with the Apple Pencil, not just the mouse or trackpad. Simply long-tap the screen and drag right or left to select a handful of items in the design space at once.
