Synopsis

nurbsSelect([borderSelection=boolean], [bottomBorder=boolean], [growSelection=int], [leftBorder=boolean], [rightBorder=boolean], [shrinkSelection=int], [topBorder=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

nurbsSelect is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

Performs selection operations on NURBS objects.
If any of the border flags is set, then the appropriate borders are selected. Otherwise the current CV selection is used, or all CVs if the surfaces is selected as an object.
The growSelection, shrinkSelection, borderSelection flags are then applied in that order.
In practice, it is recommended to use one flag at a time, except for the border flags.
