selection tool: only face/front
« on: September 08, 2013, 01:19:34 AM »
the selection tools should have a mode to select either through or only the visible geometry in front of the perspective.

Consider this example: you have complete 360deg room, from top to bottom and all sides, so kind of a cube. You want to select a particular wall. Current the selection tool will select "through", so even what is behind the geometry-wall (another wall, objects, etc.). Even when moving the viewpoint into the room, that you see it from inside, the selection tools are selecting whats in front, as whats in your back.

Is very important for my work.
