Selecting Objects

Before you can perform any type of editing or transforming operation on an object, you need to select it. As well as selecting objects using the cursor, Bryce's Selection tools let you select objects by type or family. You can also cycle through all the objects in your scene.

To select an object, click on any object. A selected object's wireframe will appear red. Alternatively, you may drag a marquee around the object.
To step through all the objects in your scene, press the Tab key until the object you want selected appears in red.
To select a number of objects, drag a marquee around a number of objects.
To select an object within a group, hold down Ctrl and click the desired object.
To select all objects, either choose Edit > Select All, or press Cmd/Ctrl+A.
To deselect all, either choose Edit > Deselect All, or click anywhere outside the selected area.
To add objects to a selection, hold down the Shift key while selecting the object.
To remove objects from a selection, hold down the Shift key and click the selected object.
To select obscured objects, hold down the Shift key and select through the obscuring object. All objects underneath the cursor will be selected. If the obscuring object is already selected, it will be deselected and all the objects behind it will be selected.

Alternatively, hold down Cmd/Ctrl and click an object to select or deselect. Use Shift to select multiple objects.

You will see a list of all objects under the cursor. This lets you not only view the selection status of all the listed objects, but change it as well. This aids in dealing with large scenes.
