# Editing areas with selection tools 

## Edit specific areas of your render with selection tools

Select and regenerate only parts of your design to refine details, fix issues, or explore new variations without changing the whole image.

## When to use Selection Tools

You can make most regional changes happen by using Modify, describing how to only change a certain area, but if that doesn’t work, selection tools are also avaiable to use. \
\
Selection Tools allow you to modify specific areas of an existing render or image by selecting a region and generating new results just for that section. This gives you precise control over individual design elements while preserving the rest of your work.

This feature is useful for designers refining product details, correcting artifacts, exploring material options, or iterating on specific components without starting over.

Use selection tools when you want to improve, replace, or experiment with individual parts of your design while keeping the overall concept intact.
