Regarding the selection, MLCad uses a special buffer which keeps track of
the parts visible on the screen. For all other parts I would have to go
through the list of triangles, lines and quads until I find something in the
rectangle. This can take a long time since you have to check for each point
on the screen within the rectangle, and some bigger models quickly can have
millions of triangles ...

No need to test every line etc. - compute a bounding box (once) for each part,
and the testing boils down to a few transformations and a region intersect
test for each part. This should be fast enough.

Happy baby-sitting! My third, Jenny, is already 2 years old. They grow up much
too fast! Take care of every moment you can get with the child(ren).
