Ok, I’ll try to add the ability to stop script execution. Indeed, selection by volume can really work slowly, and I will also try to optimize this.

Selecting for ages
At first, this and most of your scripts are brilliant, thanks for your work.
But I am facing a problem some times with Select By Measuring. In some cases when I select by "equal to", no matter if volume or surface area, even with reasonable object count (like 2k, not very similar in shape), the script freezes my Max for long minutes resulting in selecting nothing.
Is it possible to add an option to stop script evaluation in case like that? Right now I am waiting for a file to unfreeze, not sure if it will ever happen.
"visible objects only"
Thanks for the suggestion. I added this option.
