Use this feature to toggle activation of the Chain Filter feature when using a Chain selection or pre-selecting. Border indicates active state. This feature is active by default but can be reversed by unchecking the Feature Selection Types Chain check box. While using a chain operation and Chain Filter is active you can temparily toggle off using the space bar.

The chain filter operation is dictated by the cursor position when hovering over entities and choosing the start position for the chain ( End Point, Mid-point, Center for example). This will influence both direction and included geometry for the chain. Below are a few illustrations of this behavior:

NOTE: Line string made in 3D, 1-5 lines left to right =Cplane 1, line 6 right vertical = Cplane 2. CPln Q = off. This example uses Transform>Delta>Copy
