To help working with a large number of items on MapHub, a new tool has been developed. The Multi-Select tool allows selecting multiple items using a rectangle selection.

A red circle highlights the Multi-Select tool icon on MapHub's left toolbar, a square with an arrow, indicating its location within the interface.

Using it is very simple: just draw a rectangle around the items you’d like to include in a selection.

Using the selection to modify items

Once you have selected some items, you can do operations on all items at once, like:

  • changing colors
  • changing icons
  • moving items to groups

Refining selection

If you’d like to refine the selection, you can use the Shift and Alt keys to include or exclude items.

You can also use the Shift and Alt keys to select multiple items in the item panel.
