Annotations and Selection
Number Selected
Write sequential values into a chosen parameter by click order or along selected lines.
When to use it
Use this for parking stalls, rooms, doors, windows, or any elements that should number in a path instead of by creation order.
Why it exists
Manual Marks drift. This tool locks the parameter, the match rule (category / family / type), and the order - click sequence or along a line.
How to use it
-
Open Number Selected
On the ✚ Annon App tab, click Number Selected.
-
Pick a sample
Click one element, then choose the parameter to write (often Mark).
-
Set the match rule
Only elements matching Category, Family, or Type will accept a number.
-
Choose how
Click order - click elements in sequence. By line - Tab-select lines, optionally flip direction. Enable Continue from last to keep an existing sequence going.
-
Number
Click Number, then click elements (or follow the line). Press Esc when finished.
Keep in mind
- Preselect nothing critical - the sample pick drives the parameter list.
- For sheet numbers, use Revalue Sheets instead.
