Create > Window/Point Select allows you to window-select or point-select nodes and elements by clicking or clicking-dragging the left mouse button. The Window/Point Select command is the default selection command in the program. **Point versus Window** The point-selection selects or unselects at most one node or element. The window-selection selects or unselects a group of nodes or elements within a rectangular selection window. **Window Drawn Right-to-Left versus Left-to-Right** If the selection window is drawn from left to right, then only entities that are entirely within the selection rectangle will be selected/unselected. If the selection window is drawn from right to left, then all entities that are crossed by the selection rectangle will also be selected or unselected. **Select versus Reverse Select** By default, the selection mode is REVERSE SELECT, that is, entities picked will be selected if they are currently unselected and will be unselected if they are currently selected. However, the selection mode will be SELECT if CTRL is pressed while selecting, that is, entities picked will always be selected. The selection of nodes and elements is an important activity in the program. Most of the commands apply only to selected nodes or elements. For this reason, many selection methods are provided in the program and are explained in the following sections. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-user-manual/interface/toc175916526/toc175916652/toc161393819-2.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
