Summary	0001600: "Selected" feature in Models
Description	It is not clear what is the use of "Selected" flag, and why it is in the module panel. The documentation says "Selected: If this model is selected, it's visual appearance will change." This is very obscure! Attached are screenshots with and without Selected. This has confused people at the RSNA tutorial. Also, in some cases, after the model was selected, unselecting it would not bring back the normal appearance. IMO, this feature should be either documented and justified, or removed from the panel and placed in "Advanced" tab, if it has to stay.
Tags	No tags attached.
