Select several loads

Anonymous

Hello everyone,

 

A very basic question which has been itching me for a while.

How do you select several loads in the view tab? (Not using tables)
If I put my cursor over one load, the arrow turns blue, and I can right click it to modify the definition. But I would like to do this with several similar loads at the same time.

On the last dialog that opens , one of the 3 options is to apply to selection only

Those two options seem to only apply to loads with the exact same values and same coordinates, which is rarely the case for me.

On the screen shots you can see an example of the type of projects I work on. There are around 100 point loads, so modifying them graphically would be way more convenient than using the tables. 

Same thing to copy the loads and paste them in another load case. It's something I want to use, there is an add-in for that, but I need to select the loads. I know which ones I need, they are on a plan, so I just want to ctrl+select those ones, as I would do with members or nodes.

There is no functionality which allows you to graphically select multiple loads and editing them in the load table seems to be the best option when the ones indicated by

Is it something that can be suggested for future updates?
It is a standard tool I used to have in Staad and IES Visual Analysis, and I find it extremely helpful.
