There are a 3 ways that you can bulk select features:

  • Select all features / all line features / all polygons / all points / all photos

  • Select all feature type with the same assigned use. e.g. all tenancy boundaries, or all permanent grasslands

  • Drag and select


Select all features / all line features / all polygons / all points / all photos

To bulk select all features, click the 3 vertical dots next to the plan name, then click Select all

A pop-up will then appear that gives you the option to select all or all of a certain feature type.

Once selected you can then complete bulk actions such as turn on a label, change feature styling, add an attribute, delete etc.

Select all feature type with the same assigned use. e.g. all tenancy boundaries, or all permanent grasslands

The second way to bulk select features is to select all features with the same assigned use. To to this simply right click on the feature that you want to select feature type. In the tool bar that appears then click Select feature type

If, for example, you right click on a permanent grassland, then click 'Select-feature type', all the permanent grasslands in that plan will then be selected

With all the feature selected you can then bulk change uses, switch on annotations, change styling, delete etc.

Drag to select - If you would like to draw an area to multi select the features within it.

Click on the drag to select tool.

When active it will highlight yellow.

If you then use a mouse click to start your area and then drag any features contained within it will start to be selected.

When you release the drag then all features will be selected.

With all the feature selected you can then bulk change uses, switch on annotations, change styling, delete etc.
