Hi guys, just a quick question.

Is there any easier way to select your splines. I have so many overlapping splines and there is one right at the bottom that I need to edit. But i just cant seem to grab it.

Any way around moving everything aside? Like a selection list or something?

Cheers.

Use the "Layer" tool (hidden on the left side behind a small black triangle).
Use the layer tool to save and lock different layers, objects, splats, ectpp to simplify editing different stuff.
E.g. locked layers cant be selected or moved. You can hide layers, ectpp. It is a helpful tool.

You might be aware of this, but:

Assuming you click on a point where multiple splats or splines overlap, but you only want to get one of them:

You can repeatedly click on point to cycle through the selection. For splats, the currently selected splat it light red, the others (semi selected?) dark red. For splines, the selected one shows the perpendicular connections (in particular those at both ends) while the others do not.

Assuming you have 3 splines: 1st click: Everything selected; 2nd click: Only spline 1 selected; 3rd click: only spline 2 selected; 4th click: only spline 3 selected. 5th click: Everything selected.

Occasionally, it tends to skip a certain item for some reason (seems to happen mostly for splats, though).

Alternatively (and useful when you want to move a certain group of e.g. splats/splines that overlaps with another group):

You can add items to your selection by holding SHIFT. You can also use that to deselect a subgroup.

So, how this typically works out: Click at one point, and the program selects all splats at that point, including some that you are not interested in. Now, hold shift and click away from that point where only the unwanted splats are. If there are no other splines there, it will simply deselect the unwanted splats. If there are other splats there, at first click they will be added to your selection. If that happens, you'd have to SHIFT click the same point again, and all unwanted splines are deselected.
