custom selection question

[RDS Casa]

Hello. Struggling to do something I thought was easy.... what am I doing wrong?

 

I've long used the custom selection tool to pick objects of a given colour etc. But How do I use it to select all lines that have a fill style of none? 

 

Fill style does not seem to be a criteria? 

 

I need to pick out hundreds of polygons which have no fill... but NOT the hundreds that have a fill attribute "by class"? 

 

Any suggestions. Am I missing something? 

 

Thanks

Does this not work for you?

 

 

Is the issue that this still picks up polygons whose fill is by class, and where the class fill is 'none'?

 

Can you get around it by excluding certain classes?

Thanks.

 

and yes, it does pick up polygons who's attribute is by class and the class has a fill of none. 

 

Actually, I did not even find this fill pattern =  none....  because the fill are all hatches not patterns... so I dismissed this as a selection criteria. I just did not look into it (and under hatch fill, "none" is not an option).

 

I ended up getting a slightly convoluted process to work using the magic wand tool thing (select similar tool), where fill STYLE is an option, then combining it with class options as you suggest. 

 

I guess what I'm looking for is a section process where attribute assigned by class (fills or lines to be honest) is a criteria, but they seem to have missed this from the list.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, that the "none" is an option under 'fill pattern' rather than 'fill' is confusing and a classic case of VW inconsistency. (No doubt there is a 'reason' it's like this, but it is confusing from a user point of view)

I remember running into this exact issue once. Definitely confusing.
