RE: selecting a part of an area to change its material properties

You can't select part of an area. For a area to be selected, it must exist. You can create this area by splitting current areas in your model along lines or other areas etc. I'm not sure I fully understand what you're trying to do either, as you say you've created a 3D object - using vdrag - but you're trying to model a 2D window area? More information would be good.

Cheers,
