VolumetricSelection2077

VolumetricSelection2077 (VS2077) is a tool for selecting nodes in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 using a convenient in-game selection box without size constraints. It supports multiple output formats, including:

• Removal using ArchiveXL (YAML and JSON)
• WorldBuilder Prefabs

Note: WorldBuilder may struggle with very large selections (e.g., 10k+ objects).

Note: Prefabs can only be extended if they remain in the "GeneratedByVS2077" category. If you modify a prefab, move it to a different category to prevent VS2077 from overwriting it.
