<ul><li>
-<b>Belong to Geom</b> selects entities whose all nodes
-lie on the shape defined by <b>Threshold Value</b>.
-If the threshold shape is a sub-shape of the main shape of the mesh

+<b>Elements of a domain</b> allows selection of entities belonging to
+one domain of a mesh. The domain is mesh part not connected to

+- node ID (that you can pick in the Viewer) or
+- geometrical vertex (that you can pick either in the Viewer or in the
