Soft Selection - Polyloop

It would be very cool if soft selection was extended for use in more tools.

Some examples of needed tools ?

What I mean is that soft selection only works with the 3D manipulator. If we could use soft selection to control tools such as extrude if you see what I mean. For example I know Modo can do this. It's complex but a tremendously powerful feature. I definitely think that selection is a bit weak in Hexagon as compared to some other programs. I feel that it slows the work process whereas everything else in Hexagon is very fast. I find that I am always working around my inability to control selections. Wings 3D has a superb selection process but it lacks tools. It all depends on what kind of modelling you are doing. I often make selections and apply tools to multiple faces, edges and points. A continuous flow of automatic selection prediction after validations and soft selection capability with more tools is something I would really like to have.

Of course I understand that Hexagon is a relatively new program and what I am suggesting is complicated but these are features I'd love to see.
