Simple tool for selecting polygons by area with a few options

Additional Info

How it works: This tool works with Editable Poly objects (version 1.0) and support Edit Poly modifier (version 1.1). You can select a few polygons and script will calculate areas of each polygon separately and try to select all faces which have similar area depending on the three following options: Option #1: By Selected Polygons Exact Area This option mimic 3dsMax Graphite Modeling Tools “Similar” command. It will select all faces which have exact area like previously selected faces. Option #2: By Threshold (+|-) With this option, we can use area with added and subtracted threshold. For example, let say we have selected a face with area = 50 units and threshold set to 0.01. This tool will search and select all faces which have area between 49.99 and 50.01 units. Option #3: Smaller Or Bigger Than Face Area Here we can specify or get area of single face. If "<" button is checked, then all faces with area smaller than specified value will be selected or if ">" button is checked, then all faces with area bigger than specified value will be selected. UPDATE 1.1 >>> - added support for Edit Poly modifier and all selected objects which use the same EP modifier will be included in calculation
