Summary0006915: Block selection request with <ctrl>
DescriptionWe need the ability to toggle block selections without effecting other blocks. For instance, if I want to select two blocks using the 'b' command, it would be userful to be able to select 'b', then <ctrl> 'b' on another block.

Another use for this <ctrl> function would be that if the user ever used "Select cells on", with the <ctrl> key down, it would select all BLOCKS that held cells that were rubber band selected.

Maybe a stretch goal would be that if the user used the <alt> key when the "Select cells on" rubber band was used, only those blocks that had all cells selected would be highlighted. Selecting a washer within a nut/bolt group comes to mind.

Expanding selections using Ctrl is now supported. Only works for ids based selection and block selection.

This is absolutely fabulous! Nice job.

Question - it doesn't work for "Select Cells Through" and Select Points Through". Is this an oversight, or by design? I am fine if Select Cells/Points Through do not work with the <ctrl> key.

It cannot work for "Select Cells/Points Through" since union of two frustums is not a frustum. The underlying selection mechanism will have to change to take in multiple frustums.

Excellent. Tested client/server.
