Issue with Selection Sets?

[t_smith5]

Hi

I'm currently using Maya 2023 and I can't seem to get Selection Sets to work or do anything. Could this be a bug? I've exported out my mesh from ZBrush as an FBX with Export PolyGroups as SS. All the SS are listed in the Outliner, but clicking on any of them does nothing. Shouldn't selecting one highlight the corresponding part?

Okay, I see what's going on - they're being broken up into smaller pieces. Fragments. Which make up an entire portion/Polygroup:

Is there a way of preventing this? A particular option? So it's one complete piece?

Hi!

No there isn't.

A set is a list of components that are basically an alias shortcut to the selection, it needs all those components in there to know what belongs to the set. What you are selecting in the outliner are the components (single Faces) that are within the selection set.

Normally when you use selection sets, you just rightclick on the set itself and use the "Select Set Members" command in the dropdown menu which then selects all the components within the set.

I hope this helps!
