Select Points

Select individual, multiple, ranges, or sets of points based on specific criteria.

To select points:

Do one of the following:
- Select Select Points in Home > Selection.
- Click Options next to a select box in a command, and select Select Points from the drop-down list.
The Select Points command pane displays. Each tab (General, GPS, and Occupation) shows a subset of possible selection criteria.
Set the selection criteria you wish to use to select points. You can set multiple criteria and check more than one box in each group.
- To add points selected to the current selection, check the Add to current selection box.
- To preview the selection in an open graphic view, Project Explorer, or points spreadsheet, click Apply. All points meeting all of the criteria are selected.
Refine the criteria if needed, and clickOK to make the selection and close the dialog. The number of selected points appears on the status bar.


Options
General tab
Point ID	To select a single point, enter the point ID. To select a range of points, enter the ID of the first point in the range followed by three dots (...) and the ID of the last point in the range. For example, you would enter `1...5` to select points 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. To select two or more non-contiguous points, enter the ID of each point separated by a comma. For example, you would enter `1, 3, 6` to select points 1, 3, and 6. Note that you can enter multiple ranges by separating each range with a comma. For example, you could enter `1...5, 101...105.` Note: Alpha characters used in point IDs are not case sensitive.
Feature code	Enter the abbreviation you have given to a feature associated with the points you want to select.
Locked	Select whether or not (Yes or No) you want to select processed feature-coded points that are locked. A locked feature-coded point is one that has been manually edited after feature processing and is flagged to not be reprocessed if features are reprocessed in the project or, optionally, if processing is removed altogether (that is, the feature's edits are retained). You can change the Locked setting for a feature-coded point in the point's Properties pane.
Attribute name	Select a feature attribute for the points you want to select. When an attribute name is shared by multiple features but the attribute has different types (for example, numeric and string), the attribute name is preceded by the feature name in the list (for example, BroadleafTree/Spread).
Attribute value	Select a feature attribute value for the selected Attribute name. The list includes all attribute values that are assigned to points in your project for the selected attribute.
Observed from	Enter the name of a point from which the points you want to select were observed.
Layer	Select the layer that the points you want to select reside on.
Coordinate quality (horizontal, elevation, height)	Fixed in adjustment - Check this box to select control quality points that were designated as 'fixed' during the last network adjustment. Adjusted - Check this box to select points with final coordinates resulting from the last network adjustment. Control - Check this box to select NGS surveyed coordinates of the highest quality. Survey - Check this box to select surveyed coordinates of the second highest quality. Mapping - Check this box to select coordinates of the low to average quality. Unknown - Check this box to select coordinates of the lowest or unverified quality.
GPS tab - Points observed via GPS vectors
Horizontal/ vertical precision	Select operators, and enter precisions in the format shown in the Properties pane for vectors in your project.
Solution type	Code – The point has an autonomous position. Fixed - The baseline processor was ableto resolve the integer ambiguity for the point with enough confidence to select one set of integers over another. Float - The baseline processor was unable to resolve the integer ambiguity for the point with enough confidence to select one set of integers over another. Mixed – The point has multiple solution types assigned to it. RTK – The user-specified RTK horizontal and vertical precision tolerances for the point were met during data collection. Unknown – The solution type for the point is unknown. XFill - The user-specified XFill horizontal and vertical precision tolerances for the point were met during data collection.
Field method	Continuous - Check this box to select points observed during a continuous trajectory. Event - Check this box to select points observed in a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS mode in which the resulting vectors include an 'event' marker. Observed control - Check this box to select control points observed in an RTK GPS mode. Rapid - Check this box to select points observed in an RTK GPS mode was collected at a fast data rate, such as every second. Static or fast static - Check this box to select points observed in a PPK GPS mode collecting up to 20 minutes or several hours (respectively) of raw data, and then postprocessing to achieve sub-centimeter precisions. Stop and go - Check this box to select points observed in short PPK or RTK Stop and Go occupations, while maintaining lock, and then postprocessing to achieve centimeter precisions. Topo - Check this box to select points observed in a GPS survey mode defined as topographic.
Occupation tab
Antenna heights between	Enter antenna height parameters in the format shown in the Properties pane for points in your project.
Add to current selection	Check this to add the results of current selection to any previously selected data.
