Mateus,

We will add ROI node selection with latitude/longitude to our "to-do" list.

First, convert the LatLon file to a Metric file:
* Write your latitude/longitude file and be sure that "Data File Encoding" at the bottom of the Save Data File Dialog is set to "Ascii (Text)".
* Load the lat/lon file into a text editor.
* Change "tag-version 1" to "tag-version 2"
* Change "tag-number-of-columns 1" to "tag-number-of-columns 4"
* Save the lat/lon file
* Change then name of the lat-lon file so that it ends with ".metric".
* Select File Menu->Open Data File. Set the type to Metric, choose the file, and press the Open button. A Dialog will appear listing the columns for loading. Set the names of the first two columns to "Long" and "Lat" respectively.


Second, to select the ROI
* Use the Display Control to set the displayed metric to "Lat".
* On the Surface ROI Dialog, set the selection method to "Nodes with Metric".
* Set the Thresholds to the range of latitudes you want to select.
* Press the Select Nodes button.
* On the Display Control Dialog, change the selected metric to "Long".
* On the Surface ROI Dialog, change "Normal Selection" to "And Selection (Intersection)".
* Set the thresholds to the range of longitudes you want to select.
* Press the Select Nodes button.

Hi,

I would like to select every node that is inside a certain range of latitude/longitude coordinates. I thought to create a metric column with the nodes' longitude and latitude values and then use the 'Node with Metric' operation from 'Surface Region of Interest' dialog to select the nodes. But I am not sure it is the easiest way of doing it... Does anyone has any suggestion?
Thank you very much.

Mateus
