Selecting Celestial Bodies

Lists of selectable bodies are used to define which bodies will be included in a given study. You can manage the values in these lists as follows:

  • Selecting Individual Bodies: Clicking directly on the checkbox to the left of the body name will select a body that currently isn't selected or deselect a body that is currently selected.

  • Selecting a Range of Bodies: Click on a body name (not the checkbox), and then hold the SHIFT key down while clicking on another body name. This highlights all bodies in the range. Once the desired range of bodies is highlighted, right-click on the range and click on either Select or Deselect on the context menu.
