Thanks for your submission. I’m a bit unsure about that feature, though, to me it sounds pretty specific, and quite similar to what we can already do with box-selection in 3DView? And if we really need/want this, would probably be better to do it in C core code.

Campbell, what do you think?

My main reason for creating this addon is:
I was working on a project and I had some very long texts and logos,so when I wanted to select the lower part of it I used the box selection tool but it was annoying to have to zoom in,select a part then pan to another part and select it.(because it is very long to select the lower part from far away).so I made this addon to have it done in a sec. + threshold control even if you select the 3 axis together.
And for programming it in C : I dont know how to do it in C,I just know python.

We already have a tool which does something quite similar to this.

Mesh -> Select -> Side of Active

Which selects all vertices +/- vertices on a single axis.
Though checking it now and it would be nice if it added an error threshold.

I can see your add-on does a bit more then this... but think this is getting in the area of being quite a specific tool.

We could have some more general add-on to select points depending on them being inside another object's mesh. Then you could setup advanced selection meshes with existing tools.
