Selecting multiple bricks simultaneously.
This will come later when I wrap my head around how to do this elegantly.

I figured that this would be an advanced feature. None of the other Mac
LDraw type apps select multiple parts, right?

This has always been in BrickDraw3D. Shift-click to select. Dragging doesn't
use more than just one though yet.

The difficulty is in deciding how operations affect multiple parts. In
BrickDraw3D 0.6 you can edit the part# or color for the selection in the status
bar, which means you edit it for all of them... but what if they were many
different parts?
Clipboard actions are obvious. But what should duplicate do? Insert all the new
parts at the end? Or in between lines? Where should they appear (by default)?

BrickDraw3D puts all the new parts at the end, and sets their position to be
outside the bounding box of the first parts.
