Terrain Selection Boxes are Terrible

[M_caw (Macaw)]

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to use sea level/replace accurately when the selection box is so large and so opaque.

This similar feature request covers my frustration pretty well:

I can’t see what I’m doing. The amount of time I’ve wasted cumulatively trying to work around this selection box is just stupid. I keep deselecting and reselecting things to see what I’m doing.

I need to be able to make this selection box partially transparent so I can see the true edge of the part I’m manipulating.

We have this!! Where is the same control for the selection box?? Even just being able to make it hair-thin would be a huge help.

Does this sink into the part properly? I dunno!

Terrain selection boxes currently look like this for both sea level and the new “Search and Replace” tool:

Can I see what I’m doing? Not at all!

We know that you’re capable of smaller boxes. Your region tool is significantly better:

Perhaps you could make something that scales with size, such as the resize tool which looks and acts similar.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because I would be finally be able to create detailed terrain without guessing and checking.
