How do I do an edge loop selection?

Anonymous — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 21:51:15 GMT

Hi everybody. I'm trying to make a selection of all the edges that loops without selecting one by one. In Maya and 3dsmax it's very easy to do but I can't seem to figure this out on my own in Fusion360. Any insight will be helpful.

Here is what I'm talking about:

ohh that's a Double clicking in the edge, but you have to be in the Sculpt mode

Ok, thank you for the response. I did try it out in sculpting mode and it does work by double-clicking on it. Do you know if there is a way to do this while in sketch mode?

actually, you can double-click in sketch to select a loop of sketch curves. It does not handle branching, but if there is a clear loop, you can do it:

This is a basic first test for determining if Fusion thinks your Guide Rail (for Lofting) is continuous/all the nodes are co-located- which isn't to say the curve won't be rejected, but at least it is a start.

Ok great! Thank you. Do you know if there is a way to do this while modifying the sketches? For example, if I want to add fillet on a loop, I can't simply double-click and have to manually click one by one.
