You are using a rather obsolete version of FreeCAD. Please retry with the newest 0.19.

Concerning the nesting there is probably not much you can do, because the step file comes with this nesting. Two things come to mind which you may try:

- You can use View->Panels->SelectionView to find objects by their name.
- OpenSCAD->ExplodeGroup to flatten the structure. (I couldn't try this myself, currently OpenSCAD workbench is not working on MacOS).

Dear chrisb,
Thanks for the reply.
According to your saying , I am going in View Panel , There is show all components but can not select components through that.it is only useful to show available components details.

So , again my query is how to select multi components at once? I have tried other option by Pressing CTRL for select multi components but they are not working. i can select single components at once.

Also I have attached images for reference.

Please know me better way.

Usually the control key works, but it may depend on the Mouse Model used

Try this: Shift + B, then select with the rectangle in the 3d view with the mouse.

These are portable releases. You don't need any admin right to run it. Just download and extract. ;)
