Defines the settings for the selection of shells
In shell options you can define the parameters for the selection of shells.
Dialog Shell options
Selection parameters
Don't demerge selected objects: By clicking on a shell, the shell is marked in whole even if a
splitting is possible. Alternatively the shell is extracted beginning with a starting triangle.
Keep model context for objects: The shells that are generated remain subobjects of the model.
Alternatively every selected surface becomes a new model.
Merge deselected back to part: After the selection is removed, the extracted shells are recombined.
Otherwise they remain separate shells or models.
Use color for object selection: The color of the triangles is used to find the shell so that only
single colored shells are created. This may result in unfinished shells with open edges.
Store last colored objects: After they have been assigned a color, selected shells are deselected
to show the new color (the marked surfaces are displayed in a standard highlight color covering
the normal color). Using the option "Store last colored objects" you can assign a color multiple
times to a shell, even though the shell is no longer marked after the first color selection. This
option cannot be used together with the option "Merge deselected back to part".
