Selection within the same layer

Tomosara · ‎01-20-2013

Hi!
If I have one layer containing different kinds of objects in different colour, is there any way I can select all those of one color? For example, I have houses in magenta and roads in white but in the same layer. If I mark a house and use Select Similar the entire layer will get selected although I just want to select the houses. Can I do a selection based on the colour they have?

Try using the Quick Select method (should be on right click)
