select inside hole?

Hi Everyone

 

I am trying to select all the faces inside the long hole to do a pattern

 

Is there a quicker way to do it than shift selecting each face

Start Move\Copy set the selection to faces then set your view so you're looking straight down on the part and use window selection. Make sure you have select through enabled in the selection filters.

Did you right click and start the Move\Copy command first? I know the answer by the way.Smiley Happy

If you want to pattern the holes with a pattern feature start the pattern tool first then window select. If you have a feature you want to just copy with copy paste there doesn't seem to be an easy way.
