Select > By Criteria... command provides advanced selection tool that selects components of the model, 2D and 3D sketch entities based on criteria such as edge length, area, angle or other components.

1.

Select Select > By Criteria in the menu or click the icon  in the toolbar.

2.

Select the required options. If you click (Estimate) button, XOR recommend reasonable value.

Click OK.

·   Maximum edge length Smaller Than – If this option is enabled, all the faces whose longest edge's length is smaller than the specified value will be selected.

·   Maximum edge length Larger Than – If this option is enabled, all the faces whose longest edge's length is bigger than the specified value will be selected.

·   Area Smaller Than – If this option is enabled, all the faces whose area is smaller than this value will be selected.

·   Area Larger Than - If this option is enabled, all the faces whose area is larger than the specified value will be selected.

·   Max/Min edge length ratio is larger than - If this option is enabled, all the faces will be selected if the ratio between their longest edges' length and shortest edges' length is larger than the specified value.

·   Max edge length/Max height ratio is larger than - If this option is enabled, all the faces will be selected if the ratio between their longest edges' length and longest edges' height is larger than the specified value.

Note

Use both of Max/Min edge length ratio is larger than and Max edge length/Max height ratio is larger than at the same time to select two kinds of spikes as shown in the following figure.

·   Angle deviation from plane is larger than - If this option is enabled, all faces whose angle deviation from plane is larger than the specified value will be selected. Using this option you can detect sharp faces on the smooth surface.

         <Small Angle Deviation>          <Large Angle Deviation>

·   Crease angle is larger than – If this option is enabled, all faces whose crease angle is larger than the specified angle will be selected.

<Crease Angle>

·   Entity Type – You can select the entity type to select.

·   Length Smaller Than – If this option is enabled, all the lines whose length is smaller than the specified length are selected.

·   Length Larger Than – If this option is enabled, all the lines whose length is larger than the specified length are selected.

·   Radius Smaller Than – If this option is selected, circles whose radius is smaller than the specified value are selected.

·   Radius Larger Than – If this option is selected, circles whose radius is larger than the specified value are selected.

·   Major Radius Smaller Than – If this option is selected, ellipses whose major radius is smaller than the specified value are selected. This option is enabled only when ellipse is present in the sketch view.

·   Major Radius Larger Than – If this option is selected, ellipses whose major radius is larger than the specified value are selected. This option is enabled only when ellipse is present in the sketch view.

·   Minor Radius Smaller Than – If this option is selected, ellipses whose minor radius is smaller than the specified value are selected. This option is enabled only when ellipse is present in the sketch view.

·   Minor Radius Larger Than – If this option is selected, ellipses whose minor radius is larger than the specified value are selected. This option is enabled only when ellipse is present in the sketch view.

·   Length Smaller Than – If this option is enabled, all the sketches whose length is smaller than the specified length are selected.

·   Length Larger Than – If this option is enabled, all the sketches whose length is larger than the specified length are selected.

·   Node Smaller Than – If this option is enabled, all the splines whose nodes are less than the specified number are selected.

·   Node Larger Than - If this option is enabled, all the splines whose nodes are greater than the specified number are selected.

·   Isolated Curve – If this option is selected, isolated curves are selected.
