Selection tool options

Hello guys,

 

I am looking for a way to better control which components (mainly faces) I select.

In C4D I have the options to select either all components that are partially within the selection marquee or all components completely within the marquee. Especially in ortographic views I find the second option much more efficient, but in Maya I only know the first option. Is there any way to adjust this?

 

I hope you can give me a hint here, thanks in advance!

Hi!

You can only change the selection from partial face selection to center of face selection, in Preferences:

Selection -> Polygon Selection -> Select faces with (set to "Center")

Okay that option would be even more confusing and unsecure in my modeling process.

 

There are so many functions that seem self-evident to me not included in Maya.

 

Tanks anyway!
