Circle Select - C

Tương tự như Brush tool

Circle Select C is used by moving with dotted circle through objects with LMB. You can select any object by touching of circle area. It is possible to dynamically change the diameter of circle by scrolling Wheel or with NumpadPlus and NumpadMinus as seen in pictures below. Deselection is under the same principle – MMB. To cancel the selection use RMB or key Esc or Return.

Lasso Select - ^ LM

Lasso select is used by drawing a dotted line around vertices or the origin of the objects, in Object Mode. To use this hold Ctrl-LMB and simply draw around the points you want to select.

Lasso select adds to the previous selection. For deselection, use Shift-Ctrl-LMB.

If anything was selected it is first deselected. Otherwise it toggles between selecting and deselecting every visible object.
