Setting the active object among many selected (and not others)

Support Basics & Interface
1

It is possible to select a set of objects not by pointing in the 3D window: eg thru the outliner or the data windows with “Select Linked”.

Is there a way to toggle among the objects already selected , in a complicated scene with many overlaps?

I guess using the “/” key will help isolate the selected…

Other suggestions?

Don’t know about ‘toggling’ through a selection set, but Shift G gives you some more options…

the active object is always the last selected one even in a group!

Alt+click will help you choose among overlapping objects. Hold down alt for drop down list of names of objects under the cursor
