Hi -

 

I discovered that by double clicking an edge, I can select a ring of edges.

 

Is there an equivalent way to select a ring of faces?

Hi @itchytoes,

 

If you select a face, hold down shift and double click on an adjacent face it will select the loop of faces.Screen Shot 2017-01-12 at 11.30.21 AM.pngScreen Shot 2017-01-12 at 11.30.29 AM.pngScreen Shot 2017-01-12 at 11.30.34 AM.png

Thanks!

 

Thanks works!   I think I stumbled upon it by accident once or twice but never figured out how I did it 🙂

 

It's something I would never have thought of trying, but it makes perfectly good sense because clicking an adjacent face  eliminates the ambiguity of which face loop I'm trying to select.

Is there a way to do this with edges instead of faces? a way to loop select?

 

Thanks!

Just double click on the edge.

Tried double clicking on the edge and it selects the whole body.

This is a body that was extruded from a DXF file that I imported. Not sure if that makes a difference.

 

Thanks.
