So I've got a nice simple view of a thing I need to move slightly relative to the stone wall. I need to select the inside of the thing I'm moving so I hit 'B' for X-ray select mode and....
Ahhhhhhhhhh billions of lines! The X-ray circle projects a cylinder to infinity from the screen plane which shows everything in it's path, a bit like if the X-ray scanner at the airport showed you the insides of the person it is scanning and the insides of everyone in the queue and everything and everyone sitting in the plane outside the concourse.
Wouldn't it be nice if X-Ray select could clip out everything else with a virtual sphere, in this case a 1m diameter sphere would be about right, so you don't see or snap to masses of irrelevant stuff on the other side of the building? With the B key held down, maybe the mouse scroll wheel could change the size of the clipping sphere? Just a thought.
