this was just a fast idea for selection-exercise today.

solution:
do 4 individual crossing or window selections and hold down shift.

I wanted to do this selection with 2 window / crossing selections:
(1) select all (first window selection)
(2) remove (Mac:cmd, PC:ctrl) the inner boxes / dices

Did not find a way to do it fast in perspective view
(only in Top view with very precise Mouse-Postion in the gabs between the dices)
(all other attempts end in draging in z-Direction)

my question: how to do a UnselectWindow / UnselectCrossing
It s a big pity all those great “_sel…” commands do not have a “remove from selection option”
or do I miss something (Mac & PC)

Thanks
kind regards
tom

Hold Alt to avoid select-dragging… does that work with Ctrl held down?
Also type “c” to force a crossing window…
