Michael, Does MoI V.1 have Ctrl+Shift for selection disable?

Hi Burr, MoI v1 does also have the Ctrl+Shift for forcing window selection.

Val - maybe it wasn't quite clear from the description exactly what that does. Normally it's when you click in an empty area that you trigger the window selection mechanism.

But if you are zoomed a ways on a model, there can possibly be no empty area available. The screen may be totally full of stuff and if you click and drag on an area of the screen that is not empty where there is an object there, it will move that object around rather than doing a window select.

However, if you hold down Ctrl+Shift it will force window selection to happen no matter where you clicked, even if it was not on an empty area.

So you can use that to make window selections in areas where they would otherwise be difficult.

wait, isn't that the same as Shift+Right Click?

Hi Val,

> wait, isn't that the same as Shift+Right Click?

No, there isn't anything special for Shift + Right Click - that's the same as just a regular Right click with nothing added.

Right click is used for a couple of different things - when in a command doing a Right click is a shortcut for pushing the "Done" button. When you're not in a command doing a Right click will repeat the last command.


There is another option for window select though, which is if you hold down just the Ctrl key when doing a window select, that makes it a deselection window rather than a selection window.
