Now that you can Deep Select faces and give them another color can we have more tools for selecting faces? GibbsCAM has tools that allow you to Select Faces Above, Select Below, Select Walls, Select Transition Faces(Fillets), Select Tangent Faces and others. The tools are very helpful for selecting and operation that involves multiple faces.

Those are all excellent options and ideas. How would we distinguish the different options? How about a pull down menu over the parameter data entry region?

How about adding a line item with menu when right clicking mouse like the ones you have now for transparency and resolution etc. only shows up in the right click when you are in the deep select tool so you can keep the mouse near the items you are selecting?

Gibbs has a Face Select mode, which I guess is similar to Deep Select. When you right-click a face you get a contextual menu with the options. i could send you a screen shot if you think that would be any help.
