New feature coming soon in Ventsim 5.2 : Irregular shape selection

[Florian Michelin]

The irregular selection tool allows you to select airways using an irregular shape i.e Perfect for selecting belt roads or the stoppings easily

A video explaining how to use it can be found at: www.ventsim.com/uploads/Irregular%20selection.mp4

 

The tool can be found in the select menu and has shortcuts to enable and disable it.

 

2 options are available:

• Select Irregular | Full Airway Inside
  Both ends of the airway will need to be in the zone to be selected.

 

• Select Irregular | Part Of Airway Inside
  Any airway that has an end in the zone or intersect the zone will be selected.

 

 

Left click will add points to the selection. The selection is defined by a white line, there is no limit to the irregular shape or number of points.
To finish and select what is inside the irregular shape, click near the first point or double click (will loop the zone back to the starting point).

 

Note: This also works with the paste attribute function.

 

Ie: Selecting the stoppings in a coal mine: (“Part Of Airway” Option ON)
Left Image is the irregular shape, right image is the resulting selection!

            

OR another example (draw a line through multiple airways, and the resultant selection is shown below in the second image)

One straight line with double click on one side:
