You can select and edit parts of one or more regions using the Marquee tool or the marquee ruler:
Marquee tool: Use to select and edit region parts by dragging across them. The Marquee tool looks like a crosshair.
Marquee ruler: A thin strip shown at the bottom of the ruler that you can use to make marquee selections.
Only the part of the region inside the marquee is selected, letting you select inside, or across portions of, regions. You can perform most edits, such as moving, cutting, copying, and deleting, in the selected area. After editing, the selected area becomes a new, separate region. The marquee selection uses the current Tracks area Snap value.
If you play a project after making a marquee selection, playback starts at the left edge of the selection, and ends at the right edge. If you create a marquee selection while the project is playing, playback continues past the end of the selection.
If you start recording after making a marquee selection, Autopunch mode is activated, and the marquee selection is replaced by the punch locators. All tracks within the marquee selection are record-enabled, and all other tracks are record-disabled.
In Logic Pro, select the Marquee tool, then drag in the Tracks area to select parts of one or more regions.

The marquee ruler appears along the bottom of the ruler.
Drag in the selection area in the marquee ruler to select parts of one or more regions (also shown on selected tracks).

When you edit automation data that is spanned by a marquee selection, two automation points are automatically created at the left edge, and two at the right edge, of the selection. This lets you quickly define and create automation data by converting the marquee selection into automation points.
