Ignore backface option

Have you tried the paint-select? hold down control+shift and left drag over surfaces to select them.

	set surf_label [label $hide_frame.surf_label -text "Surf:"]
    set UI(surf_selected)   [cbutton $hide_frame.surf_selected " Sel " "ac3d surfaces_hide_selected" "hide selected surfaces"]
#    set UI(surf_unselected) [cbutton $hide_frame.surf_unselected " Unsel " "ac3d surfaces_hide_unselected" "hide unselected surfaces"]
    set UI(surf_unhide)     [cbutton $hide_frame.surf_unlock " None " "ac3d surfaces_unhide_all" "Unhide all surfaces"]
	
	grid $surf_label -row 2 -column 0 -sticky w
	grid $UI(surf_selected) -row 2 -column 1 -sticky w
#	grid $UI(surf_unselected) -row 2 -column 2 -sticky w
	grid $UI(surf_unhide) -row 2 -column 3 -sticky w

I have the above snippet added to my tcl/ac3d.tcl file around line 1909, just above the line that says "# SURFACE TYPE" Warning, this may void your warranty, so keep a backup!

Lol, one day we're going to have a long talk about all these undocumented features... :P
