The Selection Launcher
When you're working with the Marquee or Lasso Tools, you may have noticed a small menu that appears below your selection. This is the Selection Launcher, and it's a powerful feature that can help you streamline your workflow. At first, it may seem confusing, but once you understand how to customize it, you'll be amazed at how much time you can save.

The Selection Launcher is a handy menu that appears when you make a selection. It can be turned off by going to View > Selection Launcher, but I highly recommend keeping it on and customizing it to your needs.
Default Tools
The Selection Launcher contains a range of useful tools by default, including Copy, Cut, Clear, and Transform, which allows you to transform the contents of your selection. These tools are accessible by hovering over each icon to see its function.
Customizing the Selection Launcher
So, how do you customize the Selection Launcher? It's easy! Go to View > Selection Launcher Settings, and you'll be able to add new items to the menu. This allows you to tailor the menu to your specific needs and workflow.
To add a new item, simply select a desired command, tool, or action (e.g., Edit > Transform > Mesh Transformation), click "Add", and the item will be added to the Selection Launcher. You can then click and drag the added item to reorganize it alongside other tools. You can also add a separator to create space between tools.
