You can select multiple nodes on 3D Lines and Lanes, allowing you to adjust or remove the nodes. You have two options for selecting multiple nodes for editing: using **the marquee selection tool **or **selecting each node individually**.

## The Marquee Selection tool

Enable the **marquee selection tool** by pressing `shift` and dragging while a 3D Line or Lane is selected to select multiple nodes. Press `shift+ctrl` while dragging to add to the current selection.
