Hello,

I'm facing a problem trying to pick the element in the exact center of my 3D model. Is there a function on Hyperview that allows me to pick an element by its coordinates or in the center of gravity of the model?

Thanks in advance.

    Did you try by picking element by id ?Extended entity selection contains various option for picking elements. PFA screenshot for same.

    Yes I tried but I have 8000 elements and I don't know the id of the element in the center. However, I did I cut section in the middle of the model and finally was able to select the element and know its id. 

     

    Thank you for your help
