Hello everyone - with last week’s macOS release we have introduced **area select**.

**We would love to know what you think about it so far!**

In the first version of the tool you can:

- create include/crossing selections
- have the ability to filter your geometry (face, body, edge, etc.) during the selection

There are a lot of features/improvements ahead of us (in-tool area select, iPadOS version to name a couple), but we are interested in your opinion **about this current iteration.**

Does it make your modeling easier/faster? Are there things you are missing?

Let me know here, or at [daniel@shapr3d.com](mailto:daniel@shapr3d.com)

I got you once it comes to the iPad. I plan on trading in last years model for that M1 chip specifically because of you guys and this app. I’m hoping you guys take advantage of these devices getting OP.
