Problem with object multiselect on Forma

evgeny.kurbatov — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:50:01 GMT

Hello there.

I want to select multiple elements in a Revit model reviewing it in the web Forma and then make a section box for the selected elements. I select multiple elements in BIM360 by holding the Ctrl key and mouse left-click on elements (see the picture below):

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me on the Forma platform. After clicking on the first element, and holding Ctrl key, the cursor changes to a cross and doesn't allow me to add other elements to the selection.

Hi @evgeny.kurbatov

The viewer controls have changed slightly. Use Shift to multi select. the + is used for window selection.

Hi @handjonathan . The shift key works well for me. Thank you for the suggestion! This is quite odd that that different controls are used in BIM360 and Forma. I will try remember that. Thanks again for your help.
