Frame Selection Tool

 

In all commands, where the selection of geometry is used, the user is able to use a special selection tool "Frame". The selection tool selects objects according to the chosen object selector (solids, faces etc.). There are two types of the frames differing in the way of geometry bounding and two other modes to control what objects will be included in the selection.
