# Selection Options

The Selection tool has various options for selecting strokes and objects in your sketch.

## Selection Tools on Quest/Standalone VR

Quest and other standalone VR devices now have access to the full range of selection tools that were previously only available on PC VR:

### Select All

Selects every stroke, image, video, and 3D model in your current sketch. This is useful for:

* Applying transformations to your entire sketch
* Moving or scaling everything at once
* Changing colors or brushes across all strokes

### Invert Selection

Inverts your current selection - everything that was selected becomes unselected, and everything unselected becomes selected. This is useful for:

* Selecting everything except specific elements
* Quick operations like "select everything but this"

**Performance Note:** On complex sketches with many strokes, these operations may cause temporary stuttering or lag on standalone devices. Use them carefully in very large sketches.

## Move Selection to Layer

You can move selected strokes and media widgets to the active layer:

1. Select the items you want to move.
2. Open the Layers panel and make the destination layer active.
3. Select **Move Selection to Current Layer**.

This changes the layer of the existing items. Use **Copy Selection to Current Layer** when you want duplicates on the active layer instead.

## Erase Media Widgets

The Eraser can delete imported media (images, videos and 3D models) in addition to brush strokes. Activate the Eraser and touch a media widget to remove it from the sketch. This provides a faster alternative to using the Grip-button flick gesture.

Pinned media widgets are protected from the Eraser. Unpin the widget before trying to erase it.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrush.app/user-guide/using-the-open-brush-tools-quick-tools-and-menu-panels/tools-panel/selection-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
