    2. To select multiple faces, either keep Ctrl pressed and click on several faces.
      Or click in the dialog on the button Box selection. Then you can drag with the mouse a selection rectangle in the model. Every face that is partly in the selection rectangle will be selected.
  3. Choose in the dialog a color for the selected faces.
