Selection Toolset -> Add Polygon Tool

[dpitman]

New user perspective here.

When manually classifying objects in the Dense point cloud, it would be more efficient in some cases to be able to use the polygon tool to make a selection.  The free-form select tool is good for some things and probably is great with the use of a stylus, but for mouse use, it is a little inaccurate in many cases requiring multiple selections to select some objects when trying to keep the selection "tight".

Thank you for your consideration.

Lasso tool is fast but is totally useless and irritating for precise selection. Please Agisoft, listen to your users, add a proper polygon selection tool and let it behave as lasso when combined with some key.

Firstly, the polygon selection tool is a must. 

Secondly, the freeform tool is somewhat useless.  The idea is okay but the execution is not.  What would work is to replace it with a selection brush tool that had a size parameter option and also an erase option.  Exactly like a photo masking tool which is basically what the operation is doing.

Please Agisoft. Lasso tool is for small isolated clusters, but not for fine selection.

Please Agisoft give us a proper polygon selector. Lasso tool is okay for isolated clusters of points or triangles, but NOT GOOD for fine selection. Add a modifier to the current tool allowing drawing an irregular fence in the same way we draw polygon shapes. clic-clic-clic-clic... tab or doble clic

Please
Please
Please
And also PLEASE USE CURSOR ICONS TO LET USER KNOW WHICH KIND OF TOOL IS ENGAGED.
It's been nearly twenty years loyaly using Photoscan/Metashape and you keep ignoring this simple request, come on!... Almost twenty years blaming myself (and blaming you too) every single day when I do a wrong move of the bounding box, rotate rotate object, or selected something when I just wanted to do a different thing.

Users, please, tell me! Is not the same thing happening to you quite often?

Regards,
