 As shown in the GIF, these tools allow to select part of the image to edit the object. Four selection tools are available:
 ;{{List button|rectSelTool.png}} Rectangular Selection: Draws a rectangle that starts from the click point and grows following the mouse; to select, release the left mouse button.

-===Fill All Holes===
+===Fill All Holes=== <!--T:19-->
 This is an interactive tool that allows to fill the holes in the currently selected mesh.
 [[File:fill-holes.gif]]
 As shown in the video, drag the bar to choose the size of the holes that need to be filled. The holes contour will turn red when they are selected. Click apply to accept and fill the selected holes.
-===Smooth===
+===Smooth=== <!--T:23-->
 This tool smooths the whole surface of the mesh, compensating its irregularities, if there are any.
 {{Screenshot|smooth.png}}
 This tool applies two parameters:
 ;Strenght
 How much the tool can change the object surface. The higher the value the more the mesh is smoothed and sharpened.
 ;Sensitivity
 How many parts of the surface will be identified as 'Details' (margins, edges). The details parts will be sharpened, but not smoothed.
-===Decimate===
+===Decimate=== <!--T:29-->
 This tool reduces the number of triangles in a mesh, to save more space, trying to preserve as much detail as possible.
 {{Screenshot|decimate.png}}
 It is possible to insert a percentage of triangles to be kept (For example 50% to halve the mesh size).
 It is also possible to establish a tolerance value. If the tolerance is enabled, the software will stop the decimation when this would modify the mesh more than the tolerance parameter.
 On the bottom of the dialog appears the initial number of triangles (or Faces) and the number of triangles after decimation.
 Just click on Apply to see the result.
