Moving clipping box clears selection - why, oh why?

Hi,

I’m cleaning a large model with a lasso tool. Moving a clipping box around (so large model can be displayed in surface mode) and adding faces to selection would be an optimal way to work.

However, whenever clipping box is edited/moved, a selection is cleared - this makes no sense, why RC is clearing the selection? Waiting for filtering after every small step is just too slow - selecting task takes ~10-20 seconds, and now that I cannot simply move the clipping box I should wait for 30-60 seconds for filtering.

Sorry for the rant, but this is frustrating. Any better workfow in the current version?

All these filtering steps could be avoided, if selected faces could be collected and not cleared when clipping box is moved.

Hello,
this I believe is possible. You just create a clipping box selection. Enable lasso tool. Create a selection. Scale or move the clipping box further, by going into SCENE Clipping box dropdown menu Edit clipping box and adding a selection by holding CTRL and selecting (you can as well use shift to deselect some area).
