You can use the Left and Right arrow keys to walk an edge loop selection along a mesh.
To change edge loop selection using pick walk
- Select either of the following:
- Press either the Left or Right arrow key to change the selection to the neighboring parallel edge loop along the mesh.
Note: Pressing an arrow key repeatedly walks the edge loop selection across the mesh until it reaches and selects the border edges on the mesh.
Note:
- When multiple edges are selected, the tool chooses a single edge loop from the selection arbitrarily.
- The left and right arrow keys change the direction of the pick walk, but may not be predictable in terms of the initial pick walk direction in relation to the orientation of the mesh.
- You cannot revert the edge selection back to the initial selection state; that is, if you press left-arrow to expand the edge selection to a full loop, pressing the right-arrow will not select the original single edge.
- The Up and Down arrow keys have no effect on the edge loop selection or pick walk.
- To change the direction of the edge loop selection once it has been selected, (the edge loop runs across the mesh in a horizontal manner, and you want it to run in a vertical manner) you must change the selection to a vertical edge or edge loop.
