Duplication Baseplates?

"Resizable box" would essentially suggest a brick with the characteristics of a Roblox brick, but region selection would be something different.

How is a resizeable box not a region selection
Gen. Hothauser:
Resizable indicates that you first place the brick, then select a face, edge, or vertex to increase/decrease the volume of said brick, but a region selection implies that you select two vertices of a prismatic region, though each vertex could be changed when needed.
Roblox uses resizable bricks, where the faces can be extruded out in linear directions, whereas World Edit uses the wood axe to select two voxels, and all blocks inbetween the coordinates for these selected voxels would be included in the selection.

resizing a box is much easier than having to figure out which 2 dots will finally select that full roof that I want

It all depends on the situation you are in. For me, I'm used to World Edit, and would find the two-coord selection system easier in any situation, but for the typical person, the resizable brick would, as you said, be easier in a room, and for any small and precisice duplication. However, the two-coord system would be better for larger, quicker duplications.
