Why do you need to see a selection made in 3d back in 2d?
I'd be worried about the right-click menu getting even more hefty, I'd prefer to see things starting to be taken out of the right click. Move for instance, and cut/copy/paste. We all know the shortcut - or should by now...
I do love the option in Schedule to select in plan or 3d view, very useful. I've never wanted to select something in 3d and view in 2d though.
If you add this to 3d, then one would expect the same for sections/elevations, 3d documents, worksheets, etc but how often would you use this?
I'd prefer the Marquee to become smarter and turn into full on tool (with it's own settings within the tool), to filter types of elements inside or outside and to appear in all views (including section/elevation), have proper height visible in 3d (a 3d marquee doesn't really work as expected currently). I'd vote for that

i guess, you have not used the Viewmaps to save '3D views with marquee'.
Yes, the Viewmaps remember 3D projection, filter settings, cutaway, Marquee area, rendering settings, 3D window settings etc.
I know I can set inside/outside, I guess I didn't explain what I was thinking.
A marquee that could be selected, stretched, offset, holes cut into it.
What I meant by filtering, is a marquee is good for stretching so filtering would therefore only affect the elements as per the filter. ie marquee over the corner of the building, but only want to stretch the walls and slab, not the roof. Something like that anyway. The ultimate editing assistant and selection device
A little off topic as well.

Have you put this wish already? then i would surely vote.
These wish items might get more attention if more people voted. I have noticed that you are lucky if you get more than ten total votes on most wishes. Most users vent what they don't like and that Graphisoft is not listening but there is not really a voter turnout to speak of here. The squeaky wheel gets oiled and the wheels in the wishlist area of the forum aren't very squeaky.
Tell your friends and family members to vote and often!
But seriously, when people come across an issue in a forum post that results in a wish, place a link to the wish post in the original posting with a message for all to come and place a vote. Maybe if we get dozens of people voting instead of one dozen it might get some notice.
I know this is optimistic thinking but we need more of that anyway.
PS - I voted on this one.
