Wish: Select Points by brushing - visible only option

Can you please add a “visible only” option for the selection brush?
It would make it useful for big meshes.

Does using CullControlPolygon help at all? If you’re talking about making SelBrush not select mesh control points that are behind shaded areas, then CullControlPolygon might help. When enabled the backfacing control points are not drawn and won’t select.

I second this request! I’m working with large mesh files, and I’m very impressed with the paintbrush selection tool inside the extractmeshfaces command, however I wish there was a toggle to only select visible mesh data.

Hi Brent - yeah, I see… I don’t know if that is an easy thing to do, I’ll add it to the list though, thanks.
