Every element (axis, column, wall, beam, line, circle, etc.) you draw in the drawing area is called an object. For operations such as deleting, moving, rotating, changing their properties, it is necessary to select the relevant objects first. The selected object changes color according to the customizable selected object color.
There are various methods for selecting objects in the program.
Selection With Left Mouse Button

The selection disappears when the selected object is clicked again.

At this moment, the cursor is within the selection range. At this stage, if the left mouse button is clicked, the object will be selected.
