Default Edit-->Select Vertices-Boundry, Outer, Whole?

In AC3D6, there are some new functions under the Edit menu: namely Edit-->Select Vertices-Boundry, Outer, whole.

I have tinkered with AC3D6 and have not been able to figure out exactly what they do. I did a search through the manual and didn't find mention of them.

Anyone know exactlly what they do?

It would be nice to get these documented.

These functions require that you already have a set of vertices selected.

Boundary = select all vertices at the edge of your selection

Outer = select all vertices that are on the "outside edge" of geometry (selects vertices that are part of an edge that is only connected to one surface)

Whole surfaces = select all surfaces in which one or more vertices are selected

Thanks for the reply, Dennis

I have been able to produce an example of "Select-Vertices-Whole" and "Outer", but I have been unable to come up with an example of "Boundry" that isn't exactly the same thing as "Outer".

Also, when I do a "Edit-->Select Vertices-Boundry" and then do an Edit - undo operation, the message that I get is "Undo Select Outer Vertices".

I've attached a sample. The left one is the selection, the next one Boundary, and the next Outer:

Confirmed here --- looks like one for Andy & co. to put in the next release.
