Nice Selection Addon

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!

    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 ....

    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)

    Used AI to integrate the cross-select functionality natively to Bonsai...

  • Great.

    I have already a similar AddOn for Blender :
    https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/cross-select/?utm_source=blender-5.2.0-lts-beta
    To make Blender a bit more (CAD) industry conform.

    But did I get that correct that your tool eliminates the need to switch to/between Editing Modes ?
    (Selecting Objects/Faces/Edges/Vertices at a time ?)
    That would be super cool.

    I was used to such perfect Mesh Selection options in Modo in the past and now still suffer from Blender's missing select-through control or its Face-Center-Point.

  • This 'is' the Cross Select code integrated into Bonsai. It's basically turned on with all Bonsai tools, so you don't have to specifically initiate the Cross-Select tool... it's always on.
