select To choose an object in the drawing area.
Many of the controls and tools that you use to modify an element in the drawing area are available only
when an element is selected. In Revit Architecture, a selected element displays in the selection color (red by
default), and controls or handles indicate how the element can be manipulated or modified.
See Selecting Elements on page 269.
selection box A user interface mechanism that you use to select elements within a defined area by dragging
the cursor around them.
To create a selection box, place the cursor near the elements to select, click and hold the left mouse button,
and drag the cursor diagonally across the screen to draw a rectangle around the desired elements. Dragging
from right to left includes elements completely enclosed by the selection box. Dragging from left to right
includes any element that the selection box encloses or touches.
