A new functionality has been introduced to give you more control over the selection priority between surfaces and quilts. With this update, you can choose between the default selection priority or assign a higher priority to quilts over surfaces.

If you frequently use quilts as a stable reference during regeneration, this option can simplify your workflow by reducing the number of clicks and minimizing the chances of unintentionally selecting a surface instead of a quilt.

To activate this feature, select the “Prioritize quilts over quilt surfaces” option. Once enabled, workflows like Pick From List will prioritize quilts, displaying them before the corresponding surface nearest to the pick point.
