From my POV, as a Member, this is the situation currently.

1. Text is reported to be on the roadmap meanwhile see:

1. Layers, as defined by major Software Providers do not exist within S3D at present, Folders within Items are very useful.

2. Lasso Selection, bear in mind that a Sketch and any Sketch added to it resides on a Single Plane.  
Search for Lasso [and other similar terms].  
This is one result:
