Hello @praful.bharate,

Our recommendation is to use a polyhedron selection. More information is available in our [docs](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/prog_guide/viewing/selection-and-picking.html#polyhedron-selection). To ensure that the selection result is only for those nodes contained fully inside the specified volume, you can set the option [IncrementalPickConfig.mustBeFullyContained](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/api_ref/viewing/classes/IncrementalPickConfig.html#IncrementalPickConfig.mustBeFullyContained) to `true`.

Thanks,  
Tino
