Reselect Items

blankman

Hi all, is it possible in skill to create a reselect tool, that would reselect any preselected number of objects in the event of deselecting by mistake? For instance, when doing complex stretches that involve carefully selecting only certain objects, it can be quite cumbersome when one looses the selection and has to go to the trouble of reselecting everything again. Thanks,

Brian.
