## Options

### Mode

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGSELECTTOOL_MODE`

Use this setting to define the tool's method of selection. The following options are available:

Brush

Paint interactively over a visible Element. Use the **Radius** setting to define the radius of the brush.

Rectangle

Polygon

Radial

The selection (click & drag) will be made in the shape selected.

### Radius

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGSELECTTOOL_RADIUS` · Range: [1.00..100.00]

Use this setting to define the radius of the brush when in **Brush** mode. The brush radius will be displayed in the editor view when painting.

### Display Indices

Parameter ID: `MDATA_MGSELECTTOOL_SHOWINDEX`

If this option is enabled, the corresponding index number will be displayed when the MoGraph Selection tool is in close proximity of a clone (see also [Index](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/OMOGRAPH_CLONER-ID_MG_TRANSFORM_GROUPTRANSFORM.html.md).

This lets you see exactly which clone you are selecting. Note that this function requires more memory and can therefore be disabled, if desired.
