Pro Tools are a selection of block-manipulation tools that work by manipulating selection regions (not be be confused with Regions, which are a part of Housing's Systems). This can also refer to the menu where these tools are accessed, which is in the top left of the Housing Menu.
Pro Tools can only be accessed by Groups with the "Pro Tools" permission, which is only enabled for the Owner by default. This permission only affects players if they also have permission to build.
Using Pro Tools
Most tools work by right clicking while holding the associated item in the player's hand, which will open a menu that allows an item from the player's inventory to be selected. If a valid block is provided, then the Pro Tool's functionality will modify the currently selected region.
All tools which have this associated item-selection menu can also be accessed via commands, which will require a block name or block id. Block metadata can included after the block name or id, with a colon separating the two values. All block ids and metadatas use 1.8.9 values, which can be found here.
Using the command version of a tool also allows for multiple blocks to be selected in a comma-separated array with no spaces, which results in each block in the selection being a randomly selected from the supplied block palette.

Trivia
Using the hidden deselect tool, most tools will become unusable. This includes the paste tool, despite the paste tool's functionality not requiring a selection region. Additionally, the deselect functionality does not work on the "Teleport to Point" commands, and these commands will remain functional after deselecting the current selection region.
