Selection Blacklist tag for Models

Issue
As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to select models from within other models with ease. Converting large sets of models to and from being in folders or ungrouped status causes many interrupts in workflow for both time and performance. Switching and ungrouping also removes key features and adds unnecessary deliberation by the developer to return the original state and model properties afterwards. Using a shortcut to quick select also isn’t sufficient because often developers will want to apply many rules to what should and shouldn’t be selectable from a huge hierarchy.

Fix
A simple fix to this would be the implementation of a ‘Blacklist’ tag (or property) to models, which when included will make it so the whole model cannot be selected by the cursor, only it’s descendants. This would be quick to add and save many man hours when developing.

Just hold LeftAlt and click to select parts inside a Model lol

Perhaps people would want to select more than just parts :sob:

the Building Tools by F3X plugin allows you to select models nested in models while holding alt, and you can lock to a parent too
