Select Children

Adds the children of the selected object(s) to the selection. Elements of any existing branches will be selected. If, for example, you select the **Object Manager** view [Vertical Tags](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/11071.html.md), the tags will also be selected when this command is executed.

The following commands are available for objects as well as tags.

Select a Take (or multiple Takes) to make all settings overridable for the selected items. This is the same effect as if you were to drag and drop objects or tags into the **Take Manager**.
