Great improvement. Makes it really easy to find an object with a specific entitiy number of an ifc-import. Thanks very much.yorik wrote:I just committed ( git commit ce0f245 )a series of improvements to the selection window, which until now I hadn't really been using much. Now it gained a new search box:
When you type text in that search box, all objects whose label contains the search text get selected.
I also modified the display of the selected elements in the list, so the label is displayed too. In the future we can think of ways to extend the search mechanism, but at the moment it seemed to me there is little use to search anything else than in object labels...

Mhh, may be. Looks like a good idea. I haven't used duckduckgo veery much resently. I'm gone try the bang system ...yorik wrote:Yes I'm still not sure how to do that, maybe something like duckduckgo's bang system? https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html I kind of like it... !g to search google, !i to search google images, !v to search videos, !tpb to search the pirate bay, etc...
Perhaps a two step process,yorik wrote:Yes all this is possible... Im just not sure how practical this would be, like you would type a couple of letters, and a bunch of objects would appear below, and you would have a hard time figuring out why. This deserves more thinking I believe
i have expressed myself wrongly here, was thinking about " a suggested list of all possible properties", something like the attached image. i guess it could be easy for standard properties, but harder for custom ones?saso wrote:could it be done so that as soon as you type !, you would get a suggested list of all possible (supported) objects (groups) to chose from?
