	Name	Description
	GetObjectsByBoundingBox	Returns an enumerator of the given view's visible model objects that collide with the given geometrical bounding box. Note that this method uses approximate bounding boxes and thus is NOT EXACT, and may return objects not necessarily colliding with the given box but only being somewhere near to it.
	GetSelectedObjects	Returns an enumerator of all the selected model objects in the model view.
	Select(ArrayList)	Selects a list of objects from the user interface.
	Select(ArrayList, Boolean)	Selects a list of objects from the user interface.
