Hi,

 

I am trying to import some elements into a large model, I have set the import flag to offset the nodes, elements, components, etc and so I will not be aware of the node & element numbers.

 

Is there anyway to mark elements / nodes that are part of an import?

    Before importing, make mark_1.

    After importing, make mark_2.

    Your newly imported elems = mark_2 - mark_1 :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    You sir are a genius.

     

    Now comes my other dumb question:

     

    how do you subtract one mark from the other?
