1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Okay.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So we're going to carry on looking at the basics now and we're going to look at selection.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
I've got two rectangles here that I've created in the previous chapter.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
If you don't have those, it's it's literally just left click this rectangle command here, left click

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
on the screen once and twice to drop it and just put a couple of times, Don't worry about size, don't

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
worry about anything.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It's just visual.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Just a couple of rectangles.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Okay?

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And now with our mouse, we're going to look at selecting items.

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So with the left mouse button.

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's as easy as just clicking an object and you can click as many objects as you want and it will carry

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
on selecting them.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Okay.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
And I'm just going to go to this copy.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
I'm going to left click that and I'm going to select both of them, okay?

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And then I'm going to right click.

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
I mean, I'm going to left click again for a bass point.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Don't worry about whether this sounds confusing because we're going to look at this is kind of modifying.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
We're going to look at in more detail.

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
I just want again, I just want things on the screen just to work with, okay, So all I did was copy

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
and then select them.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I'll do that again, just so you've got the same thing.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000
So it's copy left, click left, click right click, which is enter, left, click.

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
A base point just means when it asks specify base point, it just means where should I grab this from?

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Okay.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And if you don't have this piece of text and these boxes next to your cursor, it's F 12, press f 12

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
on the keyboard and you'll see what it's asking for next in the command.

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
So.

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
It's saying specify base point.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
It just means where should I grab this from before I copy it?

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And it can be anywhere.

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
You can just click in the space there and just left, click left click, and it'll keep dropping copies

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
of these.

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Okay, until you right click to end the command.

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So again, that's something we're going to look at more in another chapter.

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
We just want this on screen.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So in terms of selection, we can left click an object.

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And we can carry on left clicking.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And you'll see in your cursor you've got a small square in the middle of the two lines in the middle

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
of a crosshair.

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
That's that's a pick box.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So you put something, put that little box over an object and you can carry on selecting if you've selected

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
something.

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And actually, I didn't want these two.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
You can hold down shift and you can select things that you want to unselect.

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Maybe that one as well.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Okay.

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And that's how you select things.

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And we don't actually have a command active at the moment.

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
So I'm just I'm just selecting them just to show you.

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Okay.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
But like, so that's how you select items.

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Okay.

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And and what you do with those items when you've selected them.

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Well, that will be a command which we'll look at later.

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,000
But for now, it's just how we actually select these items and it's as simple as left clicking.

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
So shift left, click as we've seen, unselect them.

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Okay, Now if you do have a lot of objects and in a more advanced drones, when you start using it,

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
you'll have way more objects than this.

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It can be a bit tedious to click things.

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
It could also be if you've got overlapping objects, it can be hard to select one object and not select

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
others.

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
So if you're doing multiple selections, you can use a window select.

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And to do that, it's left button.

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Again, you just click outside.

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So if we go to the top left of these objects and just click anywhere in the blank space and we left

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
click once you'll see now we have a crosshair, our pick box is gone.

69
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And as we move our mouse, it's dragging a window.

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It looks like when we drew the rectangle.

71
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
But what it's doing, it's drawing a window.

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And if we put this window over these four here and left, click again, it has selected them.

73
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
So that's a window select.

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So again, if I press escape to undo that, just click outside here.

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Maybe it's these ones we wanted.

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Okay, you can do a window select now.

77
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
You might have noticed what happened there.

78
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I'll show you that again.

79
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I've drawn a window completely around this object.

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Completely around that object.

81
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Completely around this object.

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
But these two of this one and this one have only half gone over it.

83
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And when I left click, it doesn't select them.

84
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Okay, so this is all to do with how I created that window.

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Again, I click out here, I'm going from the left to the right, and when you draw a window, a selection

86
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
window from left to right, you have to it will only select the objects you fully enclosed.

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
So anything you only partially over it won't select them.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Okay.

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
If you then if you do have a window in the opposite direction.

90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
So we're going to move from right to left.

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,000
We fully encloses and we just touch on these two and it can be just touching it a little bit.

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Okay.

93
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Like that, you'll see it selects them and it's even selected this we must have touched that.

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:28,000
So left to right, a selection window needs to enclose a whole object, right to left.

95
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
It only needs to touch it.

96
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
And that comes in handy when you've got a very busy drawing.

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And sometimes you you do want to just specify which objects.

98
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Sometimes it's easier to just touch an object.

99
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Sometimes you only want things you're going to go over.

100
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
There's different there's different times when you'll use a different windows.

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
It will make much more sense later on when you start doing more complex drawings.

102
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But for now, just bear in mind that is the difference in window selection, okay?

103
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
You can either enclose it fully or just touch it and and you'll use them in different times.

104
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So that's basically it for selections at the moment.

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:13,000
We've got our window selects, we know we can left click okay and shift select will unselect objects.

106
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
So that's the main selection round up.

107
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
In the next chapter, we'll start looking at actually creating some of these basic shapes in more detail.
