You can use the
Propagation options () or the
Modeling Toolkit
Selection Constraints to quickly preview and select a group of components. Instead of filtering components from a selection, these options expand your selection to other components on the same mesh. All options support preselection highlighting, letting you preview your selection before it's made.
To expand a selection
- Select an object.
- Select a selection mode.
Note: Edge Loop and
Edge Ring options are only available when
Edge component selection mode is on.
- Do one of the following:
- In the main menu, select
and then select an option from the
Propagation drop-down menu.
- In the
Modeling Toolkit, select an option from the
Selection Constraints drop-down menu.
- Ctrl + Shift + right-click in the scene and make a selection from the
Selection Constraints menu.
- Move your cursor over the mesh to preview your selection.
- Make a selection.
You can click a single component, or you can select multiple components using Marquee-selection of Drag-selection.
