The Magic Wand works in both the 2D and 3D Windows and recognizes the following element types: Wall, Beam, Slab, Roof, Curtain Wall, Morph, Fill, Mesh, Line, Arc, Polyline, and Spline. When creating curved Walls and polygon-type elements based on Arcs, Circles and Splines, the approximation is defined in Magic Wand Settings. Since it creates polygonal shapes by nature, the Magic Wand will ignore geometry method settings (such as Rotated Rectangle) for the current tool. The Magic Wand lets you create special shapes that are not available for that particular tool type or would be tedious to construct segment by segment.

Hover the Magic Wand and click over the color region to select the region.The Magic Wand saves you work by finding and tracing a linear or polygon shape from among existing elements, and then generating a new element based on the polygon.

The region selected may be a single continuous shape or multiple separate areas. For example, you might want to change a particular blue section or all the blue sections in an image to a different colour.

Unlike other selection tools that select pixels based on shapes ( Lasso, Ellipse, or Rectangle tools) the Magic Wand selects pixels based on color. The Magic Wand Select tool is ideal for when you want to select a similar colour section of an image without having to trace its outline.
