1. Can you pleas add new option that will work exactly like Multi Selection Disabled on object mode changed - but it will turn off multi selection complitley. So to enable multi selection next time you will have to perform - Enable multi selection$

2. Add pleas Subobject Extrude Basic SL tools. I need them to use when multiselection is ON. Now you alwas have to switch to some selection mode to enable Extrude for this selection mode.

- Subobject Extrude_Axis, will work in edge and polygon mods
- Subobject Extrude_Face/Normals_Direction, will work in edge and polygon mods
- Subobject Extrude_Plane, will work in edge, polygon and vertex mode. In vertex mode it will perform extrude vertex.

3. We have to a bit optimeze Preview Enabled Switch, now if you have selected polygons they will be visible when preview is enabled, and it looks not good, lets fix it.
When you activate Preview Enabled Switch, can you pleas add before preview will be enabled this:
- Copy subobject selection
- Clear Selection

And before tool weel be deactivated add pleas this:
- Resore subobject selection

So it will disable selection when preview is active.

4. Now if you want to preview subdivided object you have to:
- Subdivide this object
- Activate preview temporary
- Unsudivide object
You have to run 3 hotkeys. Lets optimize it so you will have to fire only one hotkey, and you will see subdivided object in preview temporary, this is how it will work -

Toggle Subdivision and Preview:

If key just tapped,
Toggle subdivision$

If key pressed and you keep it pressed:
(
       If preview or silhouette is enabled, do nothing.
         Else
       (
              If one of selected objects is subdivided,
              Enable just preview temporary.
                Else
              Subdivide object temporary and enable preview temporary.
        )
)

I will combine this hotkey with zoom, pan, rotate so you will have fully functional temporary preview with navigating of subdivided object.

Do you mean turning off multi-selection when selection mode is changed.

Why do you want this option?
How often do you change it?
Do you still need this option, Edit > Preference > Options > Multi-Selection disabled on object mode changed?

Why do you want this option?
After about half year of xperements I finally created workflow that I like.
It works like this,
We have assigned to RMB, tool that I called - Reset.
Reset does this:
- Clear Selection
- Activate Deafault SL tool
- Turn off Preview
- Switch to Vertex Mode
- Enable Multi Selection

After you right click, you reset everything and you are redy to start next modeling "Cycle".
So here I need this new Turn off Multiselection option because when you Reset, Multiselection is Turned On but as soon as you select any sub object or switch to any Selection Mode Multi Selection must be turned off. And next time you RMB multi selection will be Turned On again.

When you will implement this new option I will not use it any more, but may be somebody will use it.

This option always must be On.

If this option is On and Multi selection is On
(
    If you switch to any subobject selection mode by:
    (
    - selecting this subobject
    or
    - by click button
    or
    - by hotkey
    )

    Then
    (
     it will turn off multi selection
    )
)

You mean this? Let me know if you need more information.
