Add option to find 3D Linear Elements when cutting XS sheets

Right now it seems cutting XS sheets always finds meshes in the 3D model, but it won't find 3D Linear Elements. I can use Linear Templates to make sure everything gets found, but it'd be nice to have a toggle/option when placing the Named Boundaries.

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..
