# Lists and Sets

The following shows how to work with and define a list of nodes in GSA. A similar procedure can be used to define lists of elements and other entities.

  1. Go to the Graphic View and choose the Select Nodes cursor view (N) select-nodes

  2. Select your nodes.

  3. Choose Ctrl+C (Edit > Copy) to put the selected nodes into a list on the clipboard. You can then use Ctrl+V (Edit > Paste) to paste the list where you wish to use it, e.g., a list of nodes to which node loads are to be applied.

  4. To permanently save this selection as a list, Right Click > Save Selection as List > give your list a name and save. Lists can also be edited in Explorer Pane > Data > General Data > Lists.

  5. View your saved lists in Explorer Pane > Views.
