Solid Wizard, thank you Andrew!

Really cool method! Love the use of Face Curves.
When you are using the Selection Manager, you can click on the push-pin icon in the upper right to keep it open. This way you do not need to keep right clicking to open it. Also, once you select an edge, line, or other entity, you can right click to confirm it without having to mouse to the Selection Manager.
