[Suggestion] Rectangle Select tool

Hello

Could integrate the developers a tool known to all, the Rectangle Select tool (Which has-been very helpful in graphics engines like Cryengine 3) to select many items in the box “escene outliner”, Content Browser and/or static meshes in editor.
Maybe they can develop a tool alongside of moving, rotating and scaling

Thanks and keep up this powerful tool

Hi Jhosep,

Thank you for your feedback. I have looked into your requests and I can say that we have a way to “select many […] static meshes in editor” by pressing Ctrl+Alt Left-Click you can drag out a selection box in the viewport.

In the content browser, you can use Shift and Ctrl to select multiple assets, but not in the way you have described with dragging a selection box. I have created a feature request for this and entered it into our database.

The Scene Outliner is a list and you can select a range of assets in it by Shift+Left-clicking two objects in the list. Is there something that a box selection would be able to do in the Scene Outliner that this does not accomplish?

Cheers!

Alexander

wow… Thank you very much for responding, are very good news, is great. I can work much faster now, Greetings!

Any reason why it wouldn’t work? Is there a way to toggle the box selection off?
