Select loops and rings with the Modeling Toolkit

You can quickly select full or partial component loops and rings with the Modeling Toolkit.

To select an edge loop

1. In the Modeling Toolkit, click the edge selection mode icon .
2. Double-click an edge on your mesh.

   All of the edges in the loop are selected.

To select a vertex loop

1. In the Modeling Toolkit, click the vertex selection mode icon .
2. Select a vertex on your mesh.
3. + double-click an adjacent vertex along the same path.

   All of the vertices in the loop are selected.

To select a face loop

1. In the Modeling Toolkit, click the face selection mode icon .
2. Select a face on your mesh.
3. + double-click an adjacent face along the same path.

   All of the faces in the loop are selected.

To select an edge ring

1. In the Modeling Toolkit, click the edge selection mode icon.
2. Select an edge on your mesh.
3. + double-click a parallel edge along the same ring path.

   All the edges in the path are selected.

To select a partial loop or ring

1. In the Modeling Toolkit, click a selection mode icon (edge, vertex, face).
2. Select a component on your mesh (edge, vertex, face).
3. + double-click another component along the same loop or ring path.

   All the components between the two components are selected.

To subtract from a loop selection

1. In your scene, select a loop.
2. -click or -click one component along the loop path.
3. -double click another component along the same loop path.

   The partial loop is subtracted from the full loop.

Tip: -click a component to subtract it from your loop/ring selection.
