How can I apply a pressure load on multiple connected surfaces?

When working with the Pressure Tool a pressure load is automatically created as soon as a face is selected. To create only one load the following selection methods can be carried out:

  • The “control key” (strg) can be used to select multiple faces with the curser at once and create one pressure load on the selected faces.

  • When the adjacent faces to one face should be selected, the “alt” key and a double click with the left mouse button can be performed.

  • When there are a lot of faces in different directions they can be hard to select while pressing the control key. In this case all other faces, that don’t experience a pressure load, can be hidden. By drawing a window including all the visible faces the pressure load will be applied as one load to all of these faces. This is shown in the picture below.
