On the subject of part selection, how about an option to capture all parts
in a selection box rather than just the first ones found in the z-ordering.
I spent a while last night just trying to select all the parts in 1 wing
plane of my TIE Interceptor MOC because of this, and also had a couple of
GPFs on Win98 while using the selection box around the parts. In the end I
had to make numerous groups, some made up of other groups and parts, just so
I could rotate 1 wing, if I'd put the parts in the model in order then it
would have been quicker as I could have just selected a linear range in the
parts lists window but I'd been using Ctrl-D to duplicate parts where they
were the same which puts the parts at the next line in the parts list window
rather than at the end.
BTW: how's the baby?
