Nice Selection Addon

Nigel

stumbles upon this Addon in Blender Extensions https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/cross-select/reviews/ it provides L to R / R to L CAD type selections, something I have missed when using Blender :)

Oh man, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I vote this should be default in BB! :)

Oh my God ...

how did I miss that in Blender. Thank you very much

I always wanted my Modo back. I always had "toggle X-Ray" enabled and went to Shaded Mode to do get a reliable Selection. Selecting by "Face Center point" and made me nuts. I hope it can select also occluded Faces .....
EDIT : OK, not in Edit Mode. At least it works in Object Mode ....

Selecting by "of Face Center"

might interest you...

actually, it does work in Edit mode, scroll down the T-panel and you'll see the Icon

Interesting, didn't know I have to/can activate it.
When activated, it works like a charm and I get colored Marquee fences - Great.

Thank you very much !
I wasn't aware of Blenders Filter (Sub) Options in Outliner .....
So far I think choosing "Selected" does help to work with crowded Files
(If it does not negatively interfere elsewhere ... So far I all time moved cursor over Outliner and pressed NumComma to find my selected Object in Outliner)
