Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time for explaining but as i mentioned before i already know all about selection methods in Moi, all of them are extremely useful and and i use them all constantly. Beside the ones you have mentioned i also often like to use method where i add object or/and its edges/faces only into browser by give it a name. After duplicating the object you have saved selection set you can always easy access. Or also sometimes by assign different color to object or components.

Still there are just a lot of cases where you simply can't drag select objects or it's components because of complexity of the objects and their positions. The example above from Rainydaylover is still simple but it is a good more complex situation. You could drag select (from left to the right) couple of times to get only faces but that will work since it's simple model with just face at the end but often might have added a bevel or something else which means you can't drag select thing but only select one by one.

For example like this, you want to select all faces on the top to use Inset, no way but to just pick them individually.
