# ![Selection Rect icon](images/icons/Selection_Rect_Intersect.png) Rect

Use the __Rect__ action to choose whether drag selection should only select elements completely inside the drag rectangle, or also elements that are partially inside the the drag rectangle.

![Same drag action has different effect depending on Rect setting](images/DragRect_Example.png)

This action is available only in the [edge and face modes](modes.md).

> **Tip**: You can also launch this action from the ProBuilder menu (**Tools** > **ProBuilder** > **Interaction** > **Toggle Drag Rect Mode**).
