Paint-Style Selection
Selection > Paint-Style Selection
 

Description:

      Choosing Paint-Style Selection (Selection > Paint-Style Selection) allows you to select whatever items your mouse drags over (as opposed to Area-Style Selection, which allows you to draw a rectangle on the screen to select anything enclosed by the rectangle). As with area-style selection, you can use all of the Select Visible and Select Thru mouse selection commands with paint-style selection.


Notes:

- When selecting faces with thru selection in paint-style selection mode, you can drag anywhere in the area of the face to select it, rather than needing to drag over the face center.
