 By default, most buildings have selection rank 1, factories and constructors have rank 2, and all combat units have rank 3.

Alternately, click 'Edit Behaviour' in the unit info box that is brought up by {{key press|Space}}-clicking a unit. For example, if you don't want your anti-air units to be selected with the rest of your combat units, their selection rank could be set to 2.

 Selection rank is a unit state that determines which units are selected when dragging a selection box. Only the units with the highest rank in the selection box will be selected. This keeps buildings and construction units from being selected with combat units.
-To select a mixed selection of ranks, hold {{key press|Shift}} while dragging the box. Holding {{key press|Ctrl}} also selects mixed selections of ranks (except for rank zero). This is to allow selection hotkeys such as {{key press|Ctrl}}+{{key press|Z}} to select across ranks. Double click selection has similar behaviour. These threasholds are configurable under 'Settings/Interface/Selection' (with Simple Settings unticked).
