Selection actions

This part of the ProBuilder toolbar provides access to selection modifiers and actions.

Depending on whether you have the Toolbar display mode set to text mode or icon mode, the selection action button displays the following to indicate what state the action is in:

• In text mode, the button displays the label text followed by a colon and the name of the state. For example, the Select Hidden action displays either Select Hidden: On or Select Hidden: Off.
• In icon mode, the button displays a visual cue that reveals the action's current state. For example, the Orientation action uses these three icons to indicate the handle alignment states: (Local), (Global), and (Normal).

The documentation for each action includes information about these visual indicators.

Note: Some actions also have extra options or custom settings available. These action buttons have a special indicator in the top-right corner. The documentation for each action includes information about these options.
