Good feature, but not well thought through. This leaves only the double screen tap for full body selection, which is problematic to say the least. I miss the long click for solid body selection, and it would be nice to have the choice. I suggest using the pencil’s in-built double finger tap to switch between the two. I posted a thread on this here before I realised this was featured in an announcement: [Annoying new iPad/Apple Pencil select features](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/annoying-new-ipad-apple-pencil-select-features/13510)
