File Information
Description	SELECT3D gets the 3-D selection point on a surface, patch, or line object. It's like a 3-D version of GINPUT. SELECT3DTOOL is a simple UI that displays the position and nearest vertex in axes space (3-D coordinates). Please send feedback, enhancements, and bug reports to jconti@mathworks.com.

25 Aug 2009	rmc256	Is there any way to work with surface objects containing NaNs? It seems to throw off the code when NaNs are present (as the code warning recognizes).
