 The [[tools:lc4d:tip_using_the_selection_tool|Selection]] checkbox assigns the settings to a specified selection tag (e.g. fold selection). By activating this checkbox, the **Edge selection** checkbox and the selection name field will be activated, and some parameters, not necessary for selection assignment, are deactivated. The selection is specified with its name in the name text field. The [[tools:lc4d:tip_using_the_selection_tool|Selection]] checkbox assigns the settings to a specified selection tag (e.g. fold selection).

 Note that transparency and backfaces are two separate and different options. Making an object transparent does not allow you to see that object’s backfaces. Likewise, showing an object’s backfaces does not allow you to see through that object to other objects. Note that transparency and backfaces are two separate and different options.
