# Cube Selection

# Rationale

The Sauerbraten selection is very basic at the moment: it is possible to select cube and to delete and extrude those. Extrusion is only possible in one direction, therefore each selection has a direction which can be changed.

The goal of this document is to propose a much more powerful selection tools and a roadmap how to implement those.

# Please consider

• Selections with complex shapes
  • With diagonal edges
  • With multiple elements, not touching each other
  • With multiple cube sizes
• 3D Extrusion/Intrusion
  • Expansion? Objects just becoming bigger?
  • More modes?
• Automatic selection
  • Wizard staff
  • Surface only
• Coop Edit/sharing of selection
• Saving of selections
• Undo/Redo
• Programmatic selection. DSL?

# UX

• Add hints on which keys to use
• Add GUI that can completely replace the keys
