Facet selection groups

If you have carefully selected a group of facets, let's say all part of a given structure, then you probably won't want to select them once again.

That's why the Memorize selection function was added, allowing you to create facet groups, which are saved with the geometry file.

To use it, simply select some facets, then use Selection menu / memorize selection (shortcut: CTRL+W), and give your selection a name.

Then you can select this group again using the Selection menu, or more quickly by the ALT+1, ALT+2, ... combinations for facet groups #1, #2, ... respectively.

You can also combine selection groups: SHIFT+ALT+1 (or holding SHIFT and selecting Selection/Select memorized/first group) will add selection group 1 to the existing selection. Intuitively, CTRL+ALT+1 will remove selection group 1 from the actual selection.
