Hi
Is it possible to select multiple points on a tracker path in Fusion? Some kind of box drag to select maybe? I know I can Cmd+LMB to add to a selection but Shft+LMB doesn’t add a range. I have searched the manual and the web but can’t find anything approaching an answer so I guess I’m searching wrong!
Thanks for any help

As far as I know you can just box-select them in the view. Isn't that working for you?

Left drag, with or without any of Shft, Ctl or Cmd doesn’t select anything, no...

Bump. Can this be done? Box select doesn't do anything yet I can move each individual point on at a time.

If you are trying to adjust a track, you could switch to XY Path and use the spline editor, with shape box and Shift+A to smooth the selected points.

You can right-click in the viewer, click on tracker1:polyline, then choose Convert To XY Path. You can then box select the points and manipulate them.

The disadvantage when using the viewer will occur if the track loops back on itself a few times. You could then get confused about the temporal order of the points.

Thanks, these suggestions have worked. I am now able to box select but can't select more than 1 individual point. You would think you could click one, shift click another and all points in between on that path would be selected. Or control click individual points. Needing to select only the points with a green highlight. Box select of course selects lots of points that shouldn't be selected.

UPDATE: Figured it out. You need to control + box select, not click.

UPDATE 2: When attempting to box select points of a tracker node, even when set to XY there often won't be points to select. When you hover over a point, the box appears then hides when you move the pointer away. If there aren't points showing, they can't be box selected. I've found that it sometimes takes 10 or 20 or more attempts to box select before the points will appear and allow them to be selected. Is this a bug (v18) or, as is so often the case LOL, user error?

Another question (sorry, this is getting rambly but it is all about the tracker node so at least we have a theme here): You're supposed to be able to select the append drop down option when you have to re-track using a different tracking point on the viewer. This is "supposed to" put the track right in line with the original track. I'm finding that it doesn't actually do this. My appended tracking keeps laying down points far from the original. They can be dragged (once the box select works) but that's pretty manual and allows for human error. Is there a fix for this that works for you? Maybe you can only append in forward and not reverse? I think it was doing this going both ways though.
