I’ve been needing to select parts within 3d regions, but I haven’t found any existing tools to do so. Most of the time such a tool would make things a ton easier: I’m working in a cluttered space with ungrouped models and need to select in a small area, so the screen-space selector won’t cut it.
Step 1: Make a part to use as your region
Step 2: Press “Select Inside” or “Select Touched”
Select Inside:
Select Touched:
Bonus features:
- Supports rotated regions
- Supports selecting with multiple regions at once
- When selecting from multiple regions is taking too long, it will wait to make sure you can cancel it
- If you press either Select button while it is still working, it will cancel existing work.
Thanks to EgoMoose for the RotatedRegion3 module that this uses.
