Area-Style Selection
Selection > Area-Style Selection
 

Description:

      Choosing Area-Style Selection (Selection > Area-Style Selection) allows you to draw a rectangle on the screen to select anything enclosed by the rectangle (as opposed to Paint-Style Selection, which allows you to select whatever items your mouse drags over). As with all other selection, you can use either thru selection or visible selection styles (in the default setup thru selection is assigned to the middle mouse button while visible selection is assigned to the left mouse button).


Notes:

- When selecting faces via thru selection in area-style selection mode, you must select the center point of the face to select a face.
