# Select objects

To edit an object in your scene, click on the objects in the scene or in the outliner to select an object.

## Selecting multiple objects

It can sometimes be convenient to select multiple objects at once. This allows some features to act on all objects that are selected to be more effective.

Some things you can do while selecting multiple objects:

* Move, rotate and scale all object in your selection. For rotation and scaling, the objects will be transformed around a point in the middle of the selected objects.
* Create a group of the selected objects. Read more about [Grouping objects](/getting-started/editor-basics/grouping-objects.md)
* Move all selected object inside another group by dragging them in the outliner.
* Delete all objects in your selection at once by clicking Backspace (←) on your keyboard.

### How to select and deselect multiple objects

* **Select additional in scene:** Hold down Shift on your keyboard as you click on another object in the scene with your left mouse button.
* **Select additional in outliner:** Hold down Ctrl or Cmd (⌘) on your keyboard as you click on an object in the outliner to add it to your selection.
* **Select a range in outliner:** With another object already selected, hold down Shift on your keyboard and click on another object in the outliner to add the object you clicked on and all object in-between to your selection.
* **Remove object from selection in outliner:** Hold down Alt or Option (⌥) on your keyboard as you click on one of your selected objects in the outliner to remove the object from your selection.
