Background

If you think that it is a difficult task to select every element in the model then you can create a group of the elements.

In Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition, it is possible to create a group of the elements so that you will be able to select multiple elements in a single click. 

You can follow the below steps to create a group of the elements.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Click on the drop-down button in the common tools group as shown below and select Add To Graphic Group.



  2. The Add to Graphic Group window will appear, click on the Create New Named Group button.



  3. In the Create Named Group window, enter the group name, Enable the “Select all the members when any member selected” toggle so that you will be able to select the complete group in a single mouse click and click OK.



  4. Similarly, you can add multiple groups by repeating the above steps 2 & 3.



  5. Select elements in the model for which you are trying to create a group, for example: Flexible Conduit and click on Add To Graphic Group.


  6. Click on the three ellipses in the Add to Graphic Group window to assign the elements to a group.



  7. The Named Group window will appear, select a group, and click left mouse button anywhere in the model. An element group will be created.



  8. If you select on any segment of the flexible conduit, the complete conduit will be selected in a single mouse click.
